Sensitive Plant Shallow Water Plant

Product Details

SENSITIVE SALLY! Sensitive Plant gets its name from the way that it reacts to touch and sunlight. When it is dark, or when the plant is touched it will curl inward to protect itself! If the reaction is due to touch, the plant will go back to normal within a few minutes!

WILDLIFE HAVEN! Sensitive Plant grows in a floating mat that spreads across the water. Because of that, it creates a wonderful cover for fish and the roots provide a perfect place for fish to lay their eggs in the Spring!
