Rose of Jericho - Resurrection Plant/Flower - Selaginella Lepidophylla - Pack of 1 (One) Dried Rose

MUY BUENO

Mi planta tiene ya casi dos años conmigo bella

Moist beautiful plant

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.

I could not get it to grow

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 like it

Had always been curious about this little desert survivor, had to get one for my granddaughter's treasure chest garden so naturally, I had to have one, too. It's never turned green but that's OK because I live in Baja AZ and there are LOTS of plants that brown up but are still alive so it fits right in. It feels like more of a pet than a plant. Easy peasy to take care of, the greatest soil requirement is good drainage. Mine lives on small aquarium gravel. GREAT little plant to get inattentive little ones interested in the wonders of Ma Nature.
