This tiny tree is an adorable addition to terrariums or high-humidity spaces. It's part of the Oxalis family, and like its relatives it folds its leaves down overnight or when stressed. In appearance, the Little Tree looks like a miniature palm tree, with a slim trunk and a bunch of palm-like leaves fanning out from the very top of that central stem. When it folds up overnight, the fronds move downwards and fold the leaves back, like a closed umbrella. Keep this fascinating plant happy with bright but indirect light, consistently moist soil, and stable humidity, and it will delight you with its adorable appearance and overnight movement.

Scientific Name
Biophytum sensitivum (sensitive living plant)

Synonyms: Toddavaddia sensitiva, Oxalis sensitiva

Originally classified as an Oxalis, this plant has had its current classification as Biophytum sensitivum, since 1824.

Common Name
Little Tree Plant, Sensitive Plant, Life Plant, Tropical Little Tree Plant

Origin
Native to Southeastern Asia, this plant is naturally found in India, Bangladesh, Borneo, Cambodia, Southeastern China, Laos, Myanmar, Nepal, Philippines, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam and much of Indonesia.

Light
Keep in bright but indirect light. Too much will scorch its leaves, while too little can cause it to rot.

Water
Only allow the top of the soil to dry between waters; this plant is happiest when its soil is consistently moist.

Humidity
High humidity is ideal for this plant, which makes it well-suited for terrariums or for growing in bathrooms or kitchens. This will also be helpful for keeping its soil at a good moisture level. A pebble tray will help maintain humidity in drier rooms.

Soil
A moisture-retentive combination of coir, fine bark and sand will work well for this plant; a mix designed for use in terrariums is ideal, especially when grown in a terrarium.

Food
Feed every four waters in the growing season, reduce to every six in autumn and winter. A fertiliser designed for houseplants, with a water before applying, will be best for your plant. Fertilisation is important for keeping these plants at their healthiest for as long as possible.

Temperature
Ideal temperatures are between 18-32°C; make sure it does not get colder than 15°C for any length of time, especially in winter.

Pet-safe
Yes, but too much nibbling won't be good for pets, small humans or the plant!

Sprouts Top Tips
Little Trees are classed as annuals, and only have a short lifespan - so you can probably only expect it to live in your home for about 18 months. In this time, it is quite likely to flower, though, so keep an eye out for flowers in late summer. They are quite easily pollinated, and if it does grow a seed pod, you'll be able to collect seeds for sowing the following spring.
If leaves are staying closed during the day, it's likely your plant is stressed, so make sure it's in a good light level, is getting plenty of water, and isn't too cold.

Fits great.
Multiple iterations of this dock have wires coming out both the front and back, making it ugly on the desk and no way to hide wires well. Mounting under the desk with this helped a ton, looks way better. Perfect fit.

High-quality, high-value
Color: Black, Size: Fits Desk Leg: 80mm(D) x 50mm(W)
I was looking for something similar for my Uplift Desk for a long time, and gave up until I built a new computer and had a reason to resume the search. Seriously, this desk mount is top-tier; I'm coming out of a long drought to review this product. The build quality, strength and stability is impressive, and assembly is easy. I'm confident that the stand could hold my body weight, let alone a computer. The appearance of the finish is high-quality, and color matches the coated steel frame of the Uplift desk flawlessly. In terms of possible areas of improvement, I'd love to see a tighter vertical fitment of the top bracket's sliding arm, and I'd love if there were more rubber anti-slip pads and spacers of different shapes and sizes included. I ended up double-stacking the anti-slip pads, using superglue to adhere them to each other, to give my PC more breathing room on its underside. I'd also love to have the option to select different sizes of base plates.

Sturdy mount
Color: Black, Size: Fits Desk Leg: 80mm(D) x 50mm(W)
Great product, very sturdy. no doubt I trust this mount/adapter to hold my 50lb PC. Installation instructions were a little lacking in explaining what to do with the small black rubber pieces. Also, I feel it is very important to ensure the bracket is level before mounting the product - especially if you have a HDD inside your computer. Nothing to knock a star off for.

Fantastic when paired with FLEXISPOT desk!
Color: White, Size: Fits Desk Leg: 80mm(D) x 50mm(W), Color: White, Size: Fits Desk Leg: 80mm(D) x 50mm(W)
I've got this to get my gaming PC off the floor, but keep it off the desk. It delivers. It fit my FLEXISPOT EC1 Electric White Standing Desk perfectly. This PC is 39lbs and there's no sign of it slipping or sagging under the weight as the base is sturdy. The top bracket isn't perfect for this uniquely size case. It installed in <5 minutes start to finish. I used an electric hammer-drill and it cinched up the proviced T-25 screws with ease. For me there's very little that I would change except for the top support bracket arm being slightly different sized.
