Rose of Jericho

Rose of Jericho (Selaginella lepidophylla)
Rose of Jericho is a fascinating “resurrection plant” famous for its ability to curl into a dry, brown ball when dehydrated and dramatically unfurl into a lush green rosette when placed in water. More of an experience than a traditional houseplant, it brings a bit of magic and science to any space. Perfect for curiosity lovers, gifts, and seasonal displays.

Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light; avoid direct sun
💧 Water: Place in shallow water to activate; drain and allow to dry out completely between cycles
🌫 Humidity: Not required during active water cycles
❄️ Temperature: Thrives in average indoor temps (60–80°F)

Fun Fact:
The Rose of Jericho can survive years in a dry state and “come back to life” within hours when rehydrated—making it one of nature’s most impressive survivalists. 🌿✨
