I have seen them as houseplants, decades ago. Perhaps I should get some seeds and try to grow them!

Yeah for sure @papa-pepper, I grew them from seed and started them off in a propagator, they are tropical plants so they like warm conditions. They usually take about 1 to 4 weeks to germinate. ...another interesting fact about Mimosa pudica is that it is in the pea family, Fabaceae.
