If it can memorize stimuli and adapt to it, and actively engage in actions (such as closing it’s leaves when touched) doesn’t that mean, that’s it’s actually conscious?

No, it’s simply reacting to stimuli. All living things react to their environment and adapt. Consciousness is an awareness of self. If you showed an animal a mirror, and it realizes the animal copying its movement is itself then it’s conscious. If the creature doesn’t then it probably doesn’t even know that “it” is a living breathing thing.
