Product Description

Neptunia Aquatica, also known as the Aquatic Sensitive Plant or Touch-Me-Not, is a truly unique addition to any pond or water garden. This fascinating plant features fern-like leaves that respond and close when touched, creating an interactive experience for kids and adults alike.

Unlike carnivorous plants like the Venus flytrap, the Sensitive Plant closes its leaves purely for self-protection. Simply touch, shake, or blow on this plant, and watch as the leaves fold quickly, only to reopen a few minutes later. The plant is not predatory and does not trap insects for digestion.

Neptunia Aquatica boasts a distinctive floating structure, with stems surrounded by soft styrofoam for easy flotation. This plant also features small yellow flowers that resemble feathery balls, adding a touch of beauty to your water feature.

Ideal for Hardiness Zones 9-11, this plant thrives in warm weather and does not tolerate cold temperatures. With a height ranging from 1 to 4 inches and a running spread growth habit, the Sensitive Plant can be floated on the water's surface or planted in soil.

In terms of care, Neptunia Aquatica requires full sun to part shade and prefers to have its roots anchored in soil. Additionally, the stems of this plant are edible and commonly used in Asian cuisine. Add a touch of uniqueness to your pond with the Aquatic Sensitive Plant!
