The TickleMe Plant will close its leaves at night. The best soucre of information about this sensitive plant is, The TickleMe Plant Book. Here is a quote form the book "We used to think that the branches of the TickleMe Plant folded down when the leaves closed at night, the same way as when they were tickled. However, look carefully at night at the "sleeping" plant and you will see that even though the leaves are closed, most of the leafstalks on your TickleMe Plant will remain up in the regular daytime position. If you tickle the "sleeping" plant, the branches will bend down. During the day, the leaf stalks point up, as well." For those who want to grow one, Google TickleMe Plant or the TickleMe Plant Book for more information.
