The Rose of Jericho, also known as Desert Rose, dries completely up and curls up in dry times, and “lives” again when in contact with water, hence the name, Resurrection Plant.
This flor de jerico contains a very powerful desert spirit. Beside it's known properties as prosperity and success bringer, when the Rose is treated with respect and love, the plant will provide greater protection to its owner, absorbing negative energies.
Miracle plant: Once immersed in a bowl of water, within a few hours, it opens and comes back to life coloring green, as if by magic! As soon as there is free moisture, the seemingly dead bundle of vegetation unfurls, becoming a soft, fern-like plant with soft, green fronds.
Comes back to life in about 4 hours: When placed in a bowl of water, it perks up within about 4 hours.
Unique Qualities: The Rose Of Jericho goes from seemingly dead to life magically just add water.
Giving a Rose of Jericho is a good omen, because it is a symbol of serenity, peace, love and rebirth.
The Rose of Jericho is often used as a symbol of renewal and rebirth, and for bringing peace, prosperity and abundance into your home.
Like all plants, the rose of Jericho has both new and old leaves. However, when this desert-dwelling plant becomes dehydrated, it curls up into a ball, with the old leaves forming the outermost layer. As a result, the plant's appearance may be altered when it is rehydrated. To remedy this, it is recommended to identify the dark brown old leaves and trim them before use. This will ensure that the rose of Jericho looks its best and is ready for any application.
