Mimosa pudica. Dicot. Also known as a sensitive plant, it is an ideal illustration of thigmotropism, or response to touch. The plant's leaves close when touched, and wilt or even drop off under more severe conditions but recovers quickly when the stimulus is taken away. It is native to tropical and subtropical regions of the Americas and prefers a moist environment. It is supplied in a pot with care instructions. Size: 4–8".

Dionaea sp. Dicot. A fascinating plant to observe, the leaves close around anything that brushes against the inner hairs. Trapped insects are digested by enzymes the leaves secrete. It is native to North America, especially the Carolinas and prefers acidic conditions such as a bog terrarium. It comes supplied in a pot with care instructions. Size: 2– 4".
