That&#8217;s why it&#8217;s also called a resurrection plant. <\/p>\n<div>It was said that in a house where the Rose of Jericho is kept, happiness and blessings should prevail. There&#8217;s also an old custom of letting it bloom at Christmas and Easter and showing it to amazed children. Not only for this reason is it an ideal Christmas or Easter gift.  <\/p>\n<p>An excellent idea is to hide a small gift in it (e.g. a ring). When you water the rose, the gift appears. Midwives place it at the bedside and when contractions begin, they water it. An old belief says that this act eases the birth and that when the rose has opened, the child will be born shortly after. After birth, the rose is given to the child, who will enjoy it for their entire life.    <\/p><\/div>\n<h2>Instructions for use:<\/h2>\n<div>If you want to open the plant, briefly hold it under the tap. Then place the rose in a shallow container and pour fresh water over it. It&#8217;s sufficient if the lower part of the plant (the root) is submerged in water.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>You will experience an incredible natural wonder.<\/h2>\n<div>Within 8 hours, this inconspicuous lifeless, dark ball becomes an attractive green plant. And if you can&#8217;t wait, it&#8217;s possible to pour boiling water over the rose, which would actually destroy any plant life. Even that can&#8217;t harm it. The Rose of Jericho opens immediately. In just 10 to 20 minutes it has come to life. You can watch the spectacle directly. Once that has happened, you can leave it in water for a week.      <\/p>\n<p>The Rose of Jericho is a desert plant and naturally requires little water. Therefore, after watering it needs a dry phase of at least 2 weeks. <\/p><\/div>\n<h2>In its dry state, it can last for centuries without dying.<\/h2>\n<p>As long as the Rose of Jericho doesn&#8217;t get too much water, it can&#8217;t die and even your great-great-great-grandchildren will still have something from it.<\/p>\n<p>The Rose of Jericho also has a very practical use. For example, you can use it when moist as a smoke absorber, air purifier or humidifier. <\/p>\n<p>When stored dried, no pests will settle on it. This is very practical for clothes moths, for example. According to tradition, the Rose of Jericho, placed under the bed, should be able to remedy sleep disorders.  <\/p>\n<p>Treat yourself to this unique experience. Order the Rose of Jericho. It will bring you happiness and contentment.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Benefits:<\/strong> <\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Smoke absorber<\/li>\n<li>Air purifier<\/li>\n<li>Humidification<\/li>\n<li>Pest repellent<\/li>\n<li>Sleep disorders<\/li>\n<li>Happiness &#038; contentment<\/li>\n<li>Birth assistance<\/li>\n<li>Natural wonder<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Note on the &#8220;True Rose of Jericho&#8221; (Anastatica hierochuntica):<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Origin and appearance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our &#8220;Rose of Jericho&#8221; (Selaginella lepidophylla) comes from the deserts of North and Central America.
