Posted on: Tuesday, 27 November 2007, 09:00 CST
PAWLING, N.Y., Nov. 27 /PRNewswire/ -- "Daddy come quick, my plant just moved when I tickled it," daughter Rebecca screamed to her father, Larry Chipkin. Thus began the success of the TickleMe Plant Company and the seeds and growing kits that Chipkin now sells.
Native to Brazil, TickleMe Plants can be found growing wild there and in other tropical areas.
The scientific name for the TickleMe Plant is Mimosa pudica.
"We simply planted the seeds in a flower pot with soil, watered it, and the plants sprouted in days," he says. "Two weeks later, we tickled this sensitive plant and watched in amazement as the plant closed its leaves and lowered its branches. Then, within 15 minutes, it lifted its fernlike branches and opened its leaves."
