Does your house plant "play dead" when you touch it? The Zombie Plant does.
The Zombie Plant grows in the Zombie Plant Grow kit. Touch the leaves and they go into "zombie mode" and they close up and look dead. Minutes later, they re-open as they come back to life.
Moms might not appreciate this plant, but this is a must-have for all DIY dads. (It does flower so maybe Mom will like it too.) Even those without a green thumb will find this plant easy to grow, as the seeds sprout in days. This will also catch on as a cool plant to grow in schools -- picture kids of all ages growing a plant that interacts with them when they touch it -- it's amazing and real.
