Rose of Jericho - Resurrection Plant/Flower - Selaginella Lepidophylla (2)

I bought it because it reminded me of my grandma who always had her growing . I purchased one which was not expensive at all it started growing, within a few days . Turned out great nice color green , looks like a fern .

Super fun! Dries up to a brown, dead-looking ball! Add a little water and it comes back to life. Trippiest plant I've ever seen.

Very cool. As long as you follow the directions it really does bloom.

Well, it is a dead looking ugly item. I’m a gardener and gifting a gardener, so I hope it will look nice later on. Normally plants should be pretty, but 35 years garden club give patience. It’s a cheap but interesting gift.

I have had these plants before. And I have on several occasions resurrected them successfully. This one however was a total failure! It greened up a bit in the middle but never totally came back to life. Do NOT buy this plant!!!

I was excited to finally buy this especially since the price lowered, but not so much anymore. It arrived messier than expected and dirt spilled everywhere. There also wasn't any care guide or information provided in the packaging. After letting it soak in water for a day it was definitely impressive to see how green and lively it became. What has been conflicted are two things. The first issue is the smell. Once wet, this plant smells like a murky pond (smells bad). Second, is the water which also happened to look and smell like a murky pond. Despite cleaning the plant thoroughly and replacing the water, it took less than a day before the water became slimy and produced white muck. There's no way to keep this plant in still water, nonetheless, a container without it smelling and looking nasty. You need a filter or air pump to provide water flow if you plan on keeping this in water. I definitely would never use this in tea either. Thankfully, I have an air pump so ill keep this outside, and hopefully, it'll flourish into something worth having. If not, ill pass it on as a cool project for kids to explore before throwing it out.

I actually put mine in a bowl of distilled water for about 15 minutes. After that I placed it on a bed of pebbles in a somewhat medium size container/bowl. I added distilled water to that, but just enough to cover the pebbles so that the root ball was sitting in water. It was fully opened in about 3-4 hours. If the plant still has brown leaves just mist it with some distilled water. However, you MUST change the water everyday until your plant becomes acculated to it's environment. I'm actually training mine to stay fully submerged in a giant glass goblet. It's beautiful.
