Is your houseplant too potted to move?
If you’re like me, you want your houseplant to be more than just a decorative accent for your home décor.
You want a plant that is a pet, too. You want the Tickle Me Plant that moves when you, yes, tickle it.
Does your houseplant just sit in a pile of dirt doing nothing all day?
You water it.
You give it sun.
You even talk to it.
Yet, all the plant does is sit there sucking up your water and your time.
Not the fun-loving Tickle Me Plant. It will even do tricks for you.
Don’t believe me? Then, maybe you’ll believe the TickleMePlant:
“I am an amazing plant. I will quickly move when you Tickle Me. I am a great gift for growing scientists of all ages. I will even fold up and go to sleep at night! . . .”
But don’t stop there. Stop at www.TickleMePlant.Com and see . . .

If you’re not tickled pink by now, go to www.TickleMePlant.com and buy the plant that just want’s to have fun, and tickle that!
Thanks to J. Giddy at the Bonehead blog where I first heard about the TickleMePlant in a comment by anonymous. Whoever you are.
WHOA!!! Now that is something I've never seen before…I had to check out the website to see how it moves, but I watched the video, and that is quite interesting!
Thanks for posting! (TFP)
Happy that a reader could inspire the story! Although the Tickle Me Plant in itself is somewhat frightening, it sort of reminds me of a childrens show from the early 70's – "The Magic Garden"
I recall they had a large leafy garden with lots of giggling plants, which were no doubt actually potted.
Sadly, therapy has never really been able to help erase those visions from my memory.
Katie,
Reminds me of the "Little Shop of Horrors," although this plant appears to be more of an introvert and less hostile. Thanks for stopping by.
J,
Maybe the giggling plants were pot plants. "The Magic Garden" sounds psychedelic and like a bad acid reflux trip. I strongly suggest you stay away from any movies or shows with aggressive potted plants or timid hanging plants, either could easily snap a stem.
It's a little trippy. Something we would have enjoyed watching back in college. If you know what I mean…..,
Lauren honey…you need to get outdoors and tickle trees or something…I think all this blogging is mulching your mind.
Kys,
I know exactly what you mean. You're right!
Linda,
I need to get into blogger rehab. Is it mulching season already?
I've seen this plant. It's very common in the Philippines. Its local name is a rough translation of 'shy'. It's got thorns though.
I just ordered a bunch for the guys at the office.I had one as a kid and have been looking for TickleMe Plants for years…I would go to various botanical gardens and tickled plants with no response. Thanks for the post
James M,
Interesting. How do you tickle it with the thorns? Thanks for commenting.
Anonymous,
Are you the same Anonymous from Bonehead's site? I wonder if they caught you on tape tickling the plants. That would be great entertainment for the surveillance people. Thanks for commenting.
That thing would give me nightmares! Creepy!
I know. I'd rather have a pet rock.
Well, the leaves close under various stimuli, such as touching, warming, blowing, or shaking.
Oh Holy Tickle Me Plant!
Hope there is a Tickle Others plant. That is sure to trouble my friends for a long time….:)
