That is a cool plant.
That is a cool plant.
how does a plant tell when something is getting too close so it knows when to close?
Those plants kind of remind me of Venus Flytraps. They’re cool!
Oh I know that plant I have it, and it closes when you touch it
How do these “touch-me-not” plants know when to react when they’re being touched, therefore making them react by closing up?
