My room mate and I have two Mimosa Pudica plants. (aka the sensitive plant) These plants have been happy and healthy since we got them for Christmas.

Now, while they still look green, full, and healthy, they are starting to fall over! I'm not sure what is causing this.

We have them set up with a grow light and are watering them regularly.

Does anyone know anything about Mimosa Pudica?

If I am not mistaken mine did that too, I think they are supposed to. They are a creeping plant, so they will not grow straight up. Does the plant look healthy?

Thank you very much, cajunbelle. That's a relief to know. The plants look very healthy, so if you say they may not be an upright plant, I will completely believe it! I'm going to see about finding them a little something to lean and climb on so they aren't just sprawling all over my desk.
