Resurrection Plant, Selaginella lepidophylla,

The Resurrection Plant, Selaginella lepidophylla, is a botanical wonder knownfor its ability to seemingly come back to life again and again -- even aftercompletely drying out. This native fern is an epiphyte, or air plant. It makes its home growingonother plants, but it still photosynthesizes the way other plants do. When the roots are submerged in water this living plant will bloom into alush,fern like plant. When taken out of water it will hibernate and return to itsdry,round shape. The Resurrection Fern (Rose of Jericho) is said to erasenegative influences, bring peace, harmony, and abundance. A fun garden project to do with kids is to find a dry resurrection fern andmistit with water every hour for a few hours to see how long it takes beforethefern turns green again *Please note to not over-soak your fern as that will allow mold to beintroduced to the plant, you just need enough water to that the roots candrink up.watch it unfurl/green over 24-48 hours. Remove from water after5-7days and allow the plant to fully dry up before repeating the process.* Let dry out weekly bright indirect light to low light
