Rose of Jericho (The Resurrection Plant)

Sold as 1 plant per order. 

Resurrection plant, also known as Rose of Jericho, is a type of spike moss that can survive for several years without water, drying up and curling its fronds inwards into a ball shape. When watered, it will unfurl and be "resurrected" into a green, mossy plant. When grown as a houseplant, resurrection plants prefer bright, indirect light and require no soil at all.

Resurrection Plant Care
The resurrection plant makes an easy, nearly fail-proof houseplant, as long as you understand its unique water (or lack of water) needs. Here are the main care requirement for a resurrection plant:

Place in a location with bright, indirect light and avoid exposing it to scorching sun.
Put resurrection plant in a bowl with pebbles.
Rehydrate the plant occasionally by filling the bowl with non-chlorinated water.
Keep it at a temperature between 65 and 85 degrees Fahrenheit.
Fertilize lightly twice a year with a highly-diluted, water-soluble houseplant fertilizer.
