💡 Care Tip
Place your Sensitive Plant in a warm spot with plenty of bright light, and keep the soil evenly moist while allowing excess water to drain. Avoid repeatedly touching the leaves, as folding requires energy from the plant. If the leaves close during shipping, give the plant time to settle into its new environment and they should gradually reopen.
