Heritage & History
TickleMe Plant Company was founded in Pawling, New York by two brothers who had been fascinated by Mimosa pudica — the sensitive plant — since childhood, when their brother introduced it to them as a science teacher would. The plant's dramatic response to touch, with leaves rapidly folding and branches lowering within seconds of contact, is a real biological phenomenon: the plant closes its leaves as a defense mechanism against insects, then reopens them once it senses no further threat.
The brothers turned that childhood wonder into a business built around making the experience accessible: complete grow kits with seeds, soil pellets, biodegradable pots, and instructions that let anyone grow a genuinely interactive plant. The company operates as a small family business from Pawling, New York, assembling and shipping kits directly to customers and through Amazon.
Made in Pawling, New York
TickleMe Plant Company assembles its kits in Pawling, New York, packaging the Mimosa pudica seeds, soil pellets, pots, and growing supplies that make the experience turnkey. The kits range from simple seed packets for experienced growers to deluxe greenhouse kits with everything needed to start plants indoors, to classroom-scale kits for 30 students that include activity books aligned with science education curricula.
The educational angle is deliberate: the TickleMe Plant's visible response to touch makes abstract biology concepts concrete and observable in ways that textbook descriptions can't replicate. The classroom kits include activity books that guide teachers and students through the science of plant movement, tropism, and the sensitive plant's unique biology. The holiday and party favor kits extend the concept into gift-giving, offering a memorable experience gift that keeps interacting for months after it's received — a living, moving science project in a small pot.
