It's tough going through life with everyone knowing you have a tiny root system.

We had one of these when I was a kid. Mom always kept it moist, I didn't know the whole resurrection thing till DECADES later.

I've seen too many vids. From the thumbnail I thought it was going to be a ball of horsehair worms.

Put... put a ring in it. Let your soon-to-be wife revive it.

Thanks for sharing this. I have a ten year old who loves plants. I’m off to find one!

Very cool! Looks like something between a teeny tiny pine tree and a fern.

Great, now I need to make space because I clearly need another cool plant

Is there an "Insurrection plant" out there?

This makes me think of my aborted attempt to grow lithops, which are a cute little plant that looks like a stone. Unfortunately they need(1)
more light and less moisture than I can give them. (TN is quite humid and I don't have a grow lamp)

Don't mist your plants people, I can't stress this enough. (humidifier is the way)

Curlsmith uses it in hair products. It's ok - I like other things better. But it's a cool plant.
How long does it take to go from dormant to green?

I had one, it grew mold and died

My mom always called it (translated from German) “the rose of Jericho”

I killed one. The only plants I can keep alive are outdoor ones that like to be left alone.
WitchIrkalla
I have one and I'm hoping I can get it to flower this year.

Dang a whole year, have you tried foreplay?
You WOOD not belive how HARD I've worked.

How long have you had yours? Thanks to this post I just ordered 3 from Amazon; am curious how long I might be able to expect it to last.
I've had mine for a couple of years. Don't overwater it. It needs a couple of weeks or months of dormancy from time to time.
iwhannafly
Very helpful
I probably would have overwatered even though I am very aware it is a desert plant. Thanks for the reminder.
Yup! I live in a very dry desertish climate, so I can just plop it in some water and forget about it. However, in a more humid climate...
It's important to take it out of the water and let it dry off sometimes. And keep it away from cold temperatures. Room temp is fine.

Selaginella only has spores, no flowers.

Anastatica hierochuntica however dose have small white flowers however are not true restriction plants

My favorite thing is the reference to tumbleweed as a plant lifestyle.
vegivamp
It's not a lifestyle, it was born that way. FFS, conservatives will stick their nose in anything's reproductive cycle.
Brassica? It's a cabbage ?
WizardofAnus
It's the same family. So as closely related as dogs and wolves. But not quite as close as, say, two breeds of dog, like cabbage/lettuce are.
Mithi
Yep. Wonder how it tastes.
No, Brassicaceae, which contains Brassica. It's related to cabbage but not THAT closely. Also, that's not the plant in this post.
Hm. I could swear the wiki page said brassica, but a) wikipedia, b) shit memory ? And yes, probably the false rose of Jericho i saw that on
Yes, definitely the false rose. The true one is VERY distantly related. Closest common clarification level is that they're both plants, lol.

Water-- all plants photosynthesize their "food" and absorb water, minerals, and CO2(their carbon source) through their roots and/or leaves.
(unless they are parasitic in which case they get what they need from a host through their modified roots )
MisterLemons
Plants also need micronutrients: magnesium, calcium, molybdenum, in addition to water soluble nitrogen and such.
Some plants take this up through the leaves. Air plants and bromeliads are two common species.

They're micronutrients, Marie.
