How to Grow Resurrection Plant

[@melissajenkins9960]

This is the most helpful and fun video I’ve watched on the Rose of Jericho. I love your French character… and your little turtle friend in this video. 😁 Thank you!

[@ashleighclark8847]

I dig you vibes, the art, the plants, and your new plant :) haha

[@flappyfish42]

Thank you!! 😁 merci!

[@mom2mta]

I purchased one and now I will try to make it grow. Thank you for being clear on how to do this.

[@flappyfish42]

your welcome. Thank you for watching.

[@mom2mta]

@@flappyfish42 I have a question. My Resurrection plant looks like it has mold growing on it. What have I done wrong!? I had it in water for a couple of days and then moved it to soil.

[@flappyfish42]

Don't be afraid of the mold. You can rinse it off or let it go dormant. They prefer to go dormant several times a year. Mine have done best not having them in potting soil. The soil base should be gravel or like a cactus-mix soil.

[@flappyfish42]

most store purchased plants come with lava rock to use as the base to place the plant on top of it.

[@mom2mta]

@@flappyfish42 thank you. I appreciate the help.

[@JMoonGem]

Do you just leave it there? Or do you transfer it on soil? Also, how often do you water it? My questions are basically about the after care of it.

[@flappyfish42]

I just leave it there sitting on top of the gravel. No need to transfer to soil. In summer i water about once or twice in a week. then let it dry out for a few days. In winter about once or twice a month.

[@workliferecognition7002]

Does not need to be soiled. I'm learning too because I got me and my mom 1 and she said they came as seeds.

[@scorpionaddiction2801]

Great informative video on their proper care!

[@flappyfish42]

Thank you for watching. 😊

[@annitagalvan9049]

Hello, I would like to ask you, I've gotten the Rose of Jericho for some years now, and the first I opened it, the leaves turned green. Since then, however, anytime I open it, the leaves are brown. Am I doing something wrong? Thank you for your help.

[@flappyfish42]

Unfortunately it may possibly be dead. I had one before this plant in the video and it stopped turning green also and it wasn’t fluffy or furn-like as it used to be. It is deceiving because even the dead ones will spread out when watered. I would need to see a picture of it to give a more accurate analysis. I have even heard of some new plants out of the package being dead on arrival. Best of luck with it. Thank you for watching and commenting.

[@anabeatriz_6257]

Can I put water just on the roots or can I leave it under water? I've seen people putting it under water.. Doesn't it die?

[@flappyfish42]

Starting out with a new one I submerge it in water one time. Once I have it placed in its rock tray I just water over the top of it and leave just enough water to cover the rocks. Then I let it dry out. Since it is a plant that lives in dry desert locations naturally it will most likely die being placed underwater all the time. For all plants we should try and mimic the type of location where they grow naturally. Thanks for watching!

[@akashnambiar95]

Where do you buy this from? Is this plant called Rose of Jericho?

[@flappyfish42]

I purchased one from Hobby Lobby and another from Amazon. Yes, it is also known as the rose of jericho.

[@workliferecognition7002]

Yes also called resurrection plant

[@anthonyvillegas1834]

I have those but I don't know how to multiply this kind of plants

[@flappyfish42]

I am not sure. I have heard of taking cuttings, but I haven’t tried it. Thanks for watching!

[@BarbraBarbour]

Hi Kent, I just got one of these plants today. I was googling for care instructions and I’ve found some websites say shade only, and others specify full sun. What do you say?

[@flappyfish42]

It prefers semi-shade and temperatures around 75 degrees. Where I live the full sun would be too intense. I keep mine inside near a sunny window.

[@melan8121]

After they open do u advise keeping them in the water. Mine is just beginning to open...

[@flappyfish42]

The plant prefers to dry out several times a year. I let mine go a week with water just below the plant at rock level.

Nice thanks

[@flappyfish42]

Thank you for watching and the support. 😊. People like you have made this one of my highest videos.

[@dominiquescalia104]

Where can I find the update?

[@flappyfish42]

Thank you for watching. I have not completed an update video. But the plant is doing great.

[@titashaanythingunderthesun7913]

How do you propagate it

[@flappyfish42]

I have not tried tp propagate it. What I have read online is it will seed or sometimes a piece (cutting) will break off and start a new plant. Like all cuttings and planting seeds it will need to have the right conditions to germinate/take.

[@titashaanythingunderthesun7913]

Have you tried propagating it now?

[@flappyfish42]

No i have not. :( .
