How Should A Resurrection Plant Be Maintained?

The resurrection plant, also known as the Rose of Jericho, is a desert native that can survive for years without any water. It is easy to care for, as long as you understand its unique water needs. To care for a resurrection plant, place it in a location with bright, indirect light and avoid exposing it to scorching sun. Place the plant in a shallow pot with gravel, providing bright indirect sunlight for 12 hours a day.

Caring for the resurrection plant is relatively easy, as it is considered a hard-to-kill plant. It can last without water for years, and once it finds water, it resurrects itself. To start a resurrection plant, get a container with clean plastic or glass pots filled with gravel or sand for proper drainage. Add some soil and water.

To recreate their native desert habitat, treat them to a thorough misting each morning and keep them in a sunny window. Use a highly-diluted, water-soluble houseplant fertilizer twice a year. Start by allowing the plant to dry out completely, remove any visible mold, and ensure the plant is well-drained.

To propagate the resurrection plant, treat it like a cutting and water propagate it by leaving it in a bowl with pebbles, gravel, stones, or ECT. Use room-temperature water for the resurrection process and avoid extremes of hot or cold to prevent shock and potential damage. When grown in soil, the rose of Jericho needs to be watered often to keep the soil consistently moist. Water cultivation is the preferred method for this plant.

In summary, the resurrection plant is an easy and nearly fail-proof houseplant that requires proper care and attention. By following these guidelines, you can ensure the longevity and health of your resurrection plant.
