Rose of Jericho Dried Whole Plant 4-24 Pieces – Selaginella Lepidophylla
Selaginella lepidophylla, commonly known as the resurrection plant or false rose of Jericho, is a unique and fascinating plant native to arid regions, including parts of North and Central America. This plant is famous for its remarkable ability to survive extreme dehydration. When exposed to dry conditions, it appears to wither and curl into a tight ball, essentially going into a state of dormancy. However, when water is reintroduced, it “revives,” unfurling its leaves and turning green once again, hence the name “resurrection plant.” Selaginella lepidophylla belongs to the family Selaginellaceae and is a type of lycophyte, an ancient group of plants that predates the rise of modern trees. It is often cultivated as an ornamental plant due to its striking appearance and fascinating revival behaviour.
