Biophytum sensitivum is a gorgeous little miniature palm-like plant species thatâs perfect for small containers and those looking to create a tropical jungle feel. Native to wetland areas of India and Southeast Asia, itâs commonly found in riparian areas near streams and waterfalls, and so you can expect this moisture loving plant to thrive under terrarium conditions.With delicate branches radiating out from a central crown and a single woody stem, itâs truly like a little palm tree. The name âsensitivumâ comes from the way that the leaves fold downwards in response to touch and at night for protection. Truly, a lovely little feature plant for a terrarium!
Biophytum plants have a low need for light as rainforest soil dwellers. They are also well suited for dark areas in terrariums.
To increase the life span of the plant, remove flowers when the first appear with sharp gardening shears.
