    Rose of Jericho Resurrection Plant

    £13.00 £11.05 - £13.00

    Selaginella lepidophylla, commonly known as a Rose of Jericho, Desert Rose or Resurrection Plant is an intriguing plant native to the desert regions of Central America and the Middle East. Unlike other plants, the Rose of Jericho has developed an incredible ability to survive in the most unfriendly of environments.

    At the core of the Rose of Jericho is an extremely resistant plant that can completely desiccate during prolonged droughts, curling its branches inward and becoming a seemingly lifeless ball of twigs. Yet, once the environment changes and the plant gets access to water, it miraculously “resurrects,” unfolding and turning green within hours. This extraordinary cycle can be repeated over many years, symbolizing renewal, ability to adaptation and persistence.

    The Rose of Jericho’s ability to rise from the state of the dead has made it a symbol of hope and rebirth across various cultures. In Christian tradition, it is associated with the resurrection of Christ, hence the name. In folk magic, it’s believed to bring peace, power, and protection from bad spells into a home.

    The plant will be sent in a dry state in a box with instructions. Will make a perfect Christmas or birthday gift for any plant lover! After ressureting the plant will have approximately 20-25cm dimension. Rose or Jericho can be used as an educational tool for children to explain plants’ ability to adapt to changes.
