Action potentials have been shown to mediate touch-induced leaflet closure in sensitive plant (Mimosa pudica), as well as the rapid closure (~0.1 s) of Venus flytrap, which occurs when an insect touches the sensitive hairs on the upper sides of the traplike leaf lobes (Figure 15.27A). (...) Since each displacement elicits an action potential (Figure 15.27B), the leaf must have a mechanism for counting action potentials.

Taking care of a sensitive plant is like having a real human toddler. Honey sweetheart darling this is just water, you need it to live, I am giving you life. Stop folding into yourself like a trapper keeper that hates me

Wild. They’re also good for absorbing toxic compounds for polluted soils.
