Growing Duration: Rose of Jericho is a perennial plant that can survive and revive indefinitely with proper care. It can go from a dry, dormant state to a lush, green one in a matter of hours when submerged in water.
Special Features: This plant is known for its ability to "resurrect." In its dried state, the Rose of Jericho curls up into a brown ball. When placed in water, it uncurls and comes back to life, displaying fresh, green foliage.
Lighting: Rose of Jericho prefers bright indirect light. It can survive in low light conditions, but for optimal growth, place the plant in a well-lit area but out of direct sunlight.
Watering: To revive the Rose of Jericho, simply place it in a dish of water. Allow it to soak up water for 4 to 6 hours, then remove the excess water. It does not need to be constantly in water, as this could cause it to rot. After 7 days in water, it is advisable to let it dry completely.
Pests: Rose of Jericho is very resistant to pests due to its dry and dehydrated nature. However, if kept in water for too long, it could attract mold. It is important to let the plant dry out completely from time to time to avoid problems.
Cold resistance: It is extremely resistant to cold and drought in its dry state. It can survive in almost any climatic condition when not hydrated.
Substrate: It does not require a substrate to grow. The Rose of Jericho can be kept in a dish of water, a decorative tray, or simply in its dry state as a decorative piece.
Shipping: All shipments are made through Bluespress. Please see our care manuals on our website: www.arcademendel.com .
