Selaginella lepiophylla aka the false rose of Jericho or the dinosaur plant, is one of a kind! Add a shallow amount of distilled water to a bowl and watch it come to life. They do enjoy sunlight to grow so keep it near a window (no direct sun or it can burn the fronds) and prune back any yellowing fronds as it grows to maintain it. Once a month, let it dry out completely to avoid rot and if you no longer want to have it out, you can let it dehydrate and roll back up. This process of drying and watering can be done for up to 7 years!
Do you happen to have any resources about caring for them? I’ve gotten a couple recently and I want to propagate and care for them but I haven’t found any really in depth resources for them like with other commonly kept plants.
The gene that causes the plant to be able to do that is actually in all plants, it’s just usually when they’re in the seed stage. There’s a woman who’s studying this and trying to make all plants (or at least with our food) be able to do this beyond the seed stage! So cool!
Had one of these in elementary school. Took it to school and my teacher let me keep it in the classroom (he had a lot of weird stuff) since I couldn’t keep it at home. Over Christmas break, I left a note that said “I’m not dead.” By the plant because I knew that no one would be there to water it. Came back after the break to find the note and the plant gone. Turns out, the janitor thought it was just some kids trying to hide a dead plant as a joke and threw it away. RIP Jim the Immortal.
We had one. While it can go without water, it also can die for real. How? Idk but ours did. You can’t tell that they’re dead dead unless you try to revive it and it just doesn’t.. lol.
Or if it opens up when you put it in water but it's completely brown, even after hours/days of it sitting in water!!! I had one for YEARS and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't turn green...turns out it was probably dead when I bought it 😅 😔
Especially informing me of this plant’s ability to ward off negative energy is priceless advice. Still need to find some fungus to help me with my sarcasm, let me check my underpants.
Oh my! I'm going to have to get this for my 4 year old to add to his little plant collection. He loves plants and loves to learn about them. I think this one will definitely fascinate him. Ty for sharing ❤
Make sure to do research on them. They need distilled or rain water, and I wouldn’t even wait a day to change it. We do daily changes to keep ours healthy.
It's know as sanjeevani in India it's sold on road sides for cheap maybe a few American cents According to a old Indian Epic , Ramayana, this plant is used to save lakshman
I don't think this is sanjeevani booti I met a guru from Bengal, he had an actual sanjeevini with him They shed leaves on waxing moon and gain leaves while waning moon And it glows in the night This is not that
I know this as the flower of Maryam. It is believed that if a woman in labour drinks the water the plant has been soaked in then the birth of her baby will be made easier as it softens the cervix.
@@CreativeUsernameEh 😂 your comment made me laugh as that is exactly what happened to a friend of mine! Her mother in law insisted she drank the water (it didn’t exactly look clear either) and she was so pissed off because she wanted actual meds and of course the water wasn’t helping.
Good decor idea: I had a cat that died, his name was Dusty. In honor of Dusty, i put a resurrection plant into his old food bowl and filled it up with water. ❤️
It should be noted that the vast majority of these are sold dead: the unfurling is simply a matter of capillary action refilling the dried tissue with water. If you want one to plant and grow, you will be sorely disappointed.
when my mom was pregnant she was suffering with labor and asked us to get this plant as it opened up my mom got in ease with her child birth. It definitely has healing properties
I’m South African, in my culture (pedi) when someone is sick you give them this plant to put in the water and they get better in a very short period of time. I wish I knew all this stuff before my uncle died
I gave my mother in law one of these. She never felt confident in caring for plants even though she lives in Florida(A PLANT PARADISE) she adores this plant and is so happy it's a worry free plant
As a kid i would would hide a toonie or something (very high value for an 8yo lol) in the centre, and when it curled you i would put it away with the coin inside, then i would forget about it and eventually put it back in the water and get really excited when i found the money, good memories😊
funfact: they're said to bring good luck to a household if they were given it as a gift! So if you know anyone that recently moved or will move they're definitely a good gift option! Further things to know: be sure to not water it too much though. after opening and being open for a while they need to fully dry and rest for a few months before you should let them open again. Hot water makes them open quicker than cold water Don't use too much water
Occasionally, I see them offered in garden catalogs. Maybe ask your local garden store or florist, they are often willing to order something special. 😊
Had one of these in middle school science class. Every year around the start of school he would whip out a dried one and resurrect it. Apparently the teacher had been teaching for so long the plant actually grew so much it got too fat and couldn’t fit in the cup he used anymore.
@@lindizzzy I didn't try to grow it in the drawer, I just stored it in is packaging in a drawer for too long before putting it in water and trying to grow it in my window sill
We have dozens of these. Be careful, because they also need distilled water. Regular tap water will kill them very quickly. Edit: Fresh rain water works as well.
When I was a beginner plant parent I started with many different columneas…. Not all survived but they taught me a lot about plant care. They are massive plants now
Plant-Parent is a marketing term. It derived from the similar term Pet-parent. Companies used to just say pet owner, but through market research realized that their customers would spend more money if they made them feel like the animal's parent, as opposed to just a caretaker. It's manipulation 101.
It is really cool. It's also a good example of people giving meaning to things just because they don't understand how it works. Plants that look dead but turn green are magical and indicate prosperity 🤷🤦 It's fine but it also works in bad ways. Like when they thought children with birth defects were evil simply based on how they looked and would leave them outside to be taken back by the evil spirits that made them.
The “healing properties” comment makes me concerned about poaching because that’s the main reason plants and animals are poached. I hope this plant reproduces well in captivity? Are these wild caught?
I had one many years ago, but my (then) husband threw it away because "why keep a dead plant?" 🙄 After the initial "big watering" they look particularly nice in a rather shallow but wide bowl where they can really stretch out over the sides (don't forget to add water regularly!) 😊
In the past, women in Turkiye used this plant to give birth easily, but today there are still people who do this. Before the birth begins, they put it in water and leave it by the woman's bedside. As the flower blooms, the woman relaxes and gives birth easily.
@ipaqmaster ...? They're just discussing the meaning other people have associated with the plant. Like how dare they explain the cultural significance in addition to the plants physical ability, making a clear distinction between what is fact and what is belief...
Plot twist: in this state they are considered dead because they can't reproduce anymore. All this does is opening because the cells still soak up water like a sponge.

Brooo I swear I saw something just like this in a dream a few years back. The plant was originally the pet creature of this guy named Sokka but something happened and it turned into a dead potted plant, but we submerged it in like a barrel of water and the plant came back to life just like this video
While they will revive in water, they need humid soil and semishade to thrive. If you wonder why yours keep dying, it is because you keep them in water all the time. These plants are adapted to survive long periods of drought, they are not adapted to sustain aquatic life for long periods of time.
I had one, I would forget to put water in it's plate, my cats would play with it for a while before i found it again and placed it back in it's plate... I think it's still being played with to this day, i just don't know where...
These are supposed to have roots in soil or gravel. A lot of these are actually dead and will never grow but they do continue to unfurl when dead and added to water.

I've studied embryology. I see similarities between embryos and this plant. Life is there; it's just waiting.
It’s called Sanjeevani back in India and it’s pretty significant in cultural reference to one of stories in Hinduism! :)
My mom uses this plant in tea. After heating the water she places the plant and lets it brew for a bit and drink it to help with your liver.
I had one of those when I was a teacher, my students loved it!
Yes it's used in labor in Saudi Arabia. The way it opens, the VJ dialtes and it is considered to help in dilation.
I have heard of these but never actually seen one. Very pretty little plant. I may have to get one.
