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.

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)

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.

I have one and I'm hoping I can get it to flower this year.

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.

2 years ago | Likes 5 Dislikes 0

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.

2 years ago | Likes 14 Dislikes 0

Very helpful

2 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I probably would have overwatered even though I am very aware it is a desert plant. Thanks for the reminder.

2 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 0

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...

2 years ago | Likes 7 Dislikes 0

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.

My favorite thing is the reference to tumbleweed as a plant lifestyle.

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 ?

2 years ago | Likes 11 Dislikes 1

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.

2 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

Yep. Wonder how it tastes.

2 years ago | Likes 4 Dislikes 1

No, Brassicaceae, which contains Brassica. It's related to cabbage but not THAT closely. Also, that's not the plant in this post.

2 years ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

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

2 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 2

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 )

Plants also need micronutrients: magnesium, calcium, molybdenum, in addition to water soluble nitrogen and such.

2 years ago | Likes 24 Dislikes 1

Some plants take this up through the leaves. Air plants and bromeliads are two common species.

They're micronutrients, Marie.
