This plant can survive several years without water by drying up and going dormant. The plant appears dead, but provide water, and within a couple of hours it will begin to revive and turn green. Within a day or so, it will be fully unfurled, and "resurrected" into a green, fern-like plant. This remarkable feat, leading to its common name, is a survival mechanism Selaginella lepidophylla developed in the harsh conditions of its native habitat in the Chihuahuan Desert. When water is scarce, resurrection plants dry out and curl their fronds inwards into a ball shape.
The dormant plants travel the desert as tumbleweeds until they find water. Once exposed to moisture, the slow-growing plants rehydrate and unfurl their gorgeous, fern-like fronds. Although resurrection plants are native to very harsh desert conditions, they adapt well to growing indoors, and are most often grown as a house plant.
Reviving The Rose Of Jericho
- Use a shallow bowl or a pot without drainage holes and put some pebbles in it. Though this is optional, it’s nice to give your new plant something to sit on.
- Fill the bowl or pot with room temperature water until just the pebbles are covered. Bear in mind that tap water has some chemicals that can harm your plant, like chlorine, so it would be best to use distilled water or simply leave a bowl of water overnight to let the chlorine dissipate.
- Now, put the plant on top of the water and let the magic happen! In just a few hours, you will be able to see the beautiful and lush green foliage of your Rose of Jericho plant!
The Watering Schedule
In order to keep your beloved plant happy and healthy, all you have to do is change the water each day to keep it fresh. Simply leave enough water overnight then use it in the morning to fill the dish or the pot.
