this plant is something quite special: She has one day night rhythm. About day the pinnate sheet whisks have opened and after the dusk has entered, the whole one is folded up. Then it looks like a laxly folded up umbrella.
With it one can show to children quite wonderfully, that also plants „schlafen“.
The plant reacts so also to too much light or very strong touch.
