How to reveal the hidden charm of the Rose of Jericho?

When you buy it, it is brown and dry. As soon as you place it in a bowl or cup of water, it will soon turn green and open up to the world. As soon as it loses the moisture, it hides its exceptional face and rolls back into a ball.

The Rose of Jericho scents the room and clears the air. Its unmistakable aroma relieves the respiratory problems of your family members.

Instructions

Fill a plate or bowl with clean water and place a dry flower inside. After only a few minutes, you will witness the beginning of a miracle, and by the next day, the plant will wake up from its sleep. Once the Rose of Jericho has fully developed, pour off the excess water and leave only the roots submerged in the water. The desert plant will make you happy for a few days. After 5 to 8 days, remove it from the water, allow it to dry and allow it to rest for at least 2 weeks. When you desire its company again, repeat the whole process.

The Rose of Jericho has theoretically unlimited “durability”, surviving in the deserts for tens to hundreds of years. To last as long as possible, alternate regular greening cycles with sufficiently long rest cycles.
