Rose of Jericho Resurrection Plant

The rose of Jericho, also known as the resurrection plant, can survive without water for years. When exposed to moisture, it turns green and lush. To grow: Place in a shallow container filled with gravel or pebbles and water.  When exposed to water, the plant will begin unfurling its fronds within three to four hours, gradually becoming greener over a few days. Allow the Rose of Jerico to dry out periodically by removing the plant from its moist setting once a week and allowing it to fully dry out once every month. Some cultures reserve the water from the Rose of Jerico for spiritual use.
