Great info! Would be interesting to try something similar in my tank. Perhaps with miamosa attached to wood. Would probably need to grow from seed to get something that small?

I guess you mean Mimosa pudica? Could be very nice, but also not realy an easy plant, if you put it in a relative wet spot it needs a lot of light and never should get colder than 20°C. Or else it will not live long. Hence also called M. sensitiva it is very sensitive not only to the touch..
But seeds are available, rather cheap, so always worth a try..
It aslo has a aqautic floating variety commonly named the Giant Sensitive Fern -
Aeschynomene fluitans But also not realy an easy aqaurium plant, it loves high light and lots of ferts.

Growing plants Epiphytic in our temporate climate in a central heated room outside a greenhouse even above an open top aqaurium is tricky.
There are not so many taking it very well. Most suffer light and temperatur issues or the air is to dry and its a hassle to keep the media moist all the time.
During the winter, days to warm, nights to cool. The warmth from the lights dries the media out in short periode, cool nights moist media shocks the plant to much. I've tried a number of plants and for example the ferns i tried the only one taking it till now is the Maiden hair fern, but also not with love. It still has a hard time especialy during the winter periode. Less light and too wet..
