Biophytum Sensitivum is also known as the 'mini palm tree plant' for obvious reasons. It is naturally grows in wetlands and riparian areas of Asia, and hence likes lots of moisture and humidity. 

The leaves of this plant fold downwards in response to light. This plant likes bright indirect light and warm, humid conditions. These conditions coupled with its small size make it an ideal terrarium plant. 

We grow these in an aroid mix, but we've found they are not fussed about the medium they're growing in. They do extremely well in sphagnum moss, but will also thrive in hydroponic mediums (their very fine roots will even happily grow in leca). Mature Biophytum Sensitivum plants will literally shoot their seeds around their environment, so we find regularly find them growing in pots alongside other plants - even in our very coarse anthurium mix. 

The plant you see pictured here is a representation of the plant you will receive, and it will be sent in its pot. Please note, this plant is restricted in WA and therefore cannot be shipped to Western Australia.

Shipping

This plant will be sent in its plastic growing pot.

We ship plants every Monday to non-quarantine states. Please place your order before 2 pm on Sunday to ensure your plant is sent the following Monday. Orders placed after this time may not be shipped until the following week.

Orders to WA and TAS are shipped on selected dates only due to quarantine requirements. Orders for WA and TAS must be placed by 12 pm (midday) on the Friday before dispatch. Please see the list of WA and TAS shipping dates at the bottom of this page.

Shipping for plants to non-quarantine states is capped at $18.00 per order. Shipping for plants to WA and TAS is capped at $30.00 per order. We currently do not ship plants to NT.

Shipping costs include packing materials, labour, and certification where required. We use recycled packaging where possible to reduce waste and keep costs down, while ensuring all packing materials are sturdy enough to protect your plants during transit.

If no one is home to receive your order, the parcel will be left in a safe place. We do not request signature on delivery, as parcels returned to the post office may not be collected for several days, which can place additional stress on the plant(s) inside.

This plant can also be picked up from Northern Wellbeing Centre, 113C Miller Street, Epping VIC. If you select this option at checkout, we will email you to arrange a pickup time.
