Isn’t it so cute! I love these guys cause they look like mini palms almost. Mine isn’t very full because it only has two stems but it grows pretty fast in bright light. I put it under a grow light to slow its growth a bit because it was cycling out its old leaves too quick for it to make new ones. Definitely not the easiest plant in my collection. If ur a prayer plant fan or an alocasia fan this could work for you because they are a little needy and not for the beginner plant parent. (Do as I say not as I do this was one of my first plants lol not the best choice). I don’t personally have a water mimosa but if u want something aquatic another plant that is similar is Neptunia aquatica. They are also called sensitive plant and make great pond plants from what I’ve heard.

Thanks for the tip about the aquatic version!
I have a few sensitive plants together in a pot and I agree with your assessment, super cute and fun but also finicky and a bit of a hassle to keep clean and nice looking
I have them growing in my lawn. They have cute pink flowers.
My local nursery had these for $5 in the checkout lane to tempt you into the impulse purchase and well, I was tempted into the impulse purchase.
I have this strange hatred for Mimosa Pudicas, but your one looks great!
