The Tickle Me Plant is actually called Mimosa Pudica. TickleMe Plant is a brand name
carried by all the scientific catalogs and websites because of the high quality of their products and seeds. The TickleMe Plant acts like it is being Tickled when you Tickle It.
The leaves fold together like magic. For more information about the plant I highly recommend reading the TickleMe Plant book.

How can you get a spindly 12-inch tall Sensitive plant to be more bushy?
We call it the TickleMe Plant. Pinch back to a lower set of leaves. The best place to pinch back is the two sets of leaves above an already existing branching. This will force it to send out more branches. It may look a little unsightly at first but the results will be worth it. We found it helpful to put a plastic bag over the plant to improve the humidity around the plant. For additional information go to the source: The Sensitive Plant-Growing the Mimosa-That MOVES When You Tickle It!-The TickleMe Plant Book-Your Complete FUN Guide - which is found online and will be helpful to anyone who is growing this plant.

Which is more fun a TickleMe Plant or a Venus Fly Trap?
The Venus Fly Trap always reminds me of the Little Shop of Horrors. It does seem to take a long time before the leaves of the Venus Fly Trap re-open one you feed it (up to a month) On the other hand the TickleMe Plant won't hurt a fly and the leaves re-open in minutes. The TickleMe Plant was also very easy to grow from seeds in the Classroom kit I found on line which included a book that had some fun experiments as well.
