I have fresh stevia seeds. Could I trade you for some hairs tail grass seeds? Deb. dementedDeb1@aol.com

Hi, as you can see from the former post, the rose of jericho is not a real rose. It looks somewhat as a grey, dead ball when it's dry, and somewhat like a branch of pine when made wet. It lives for over a hundred years and is said never to die, and thus being kept in families for over generations. You can keep it dry for years, and then put it in a cupboard of water (cold or hot -even allmost boiling hot). Within hours, it will revive and uncurl to a nice smelling, green branch. You can keep it wet up to zeven days, after which you dry it again on the central heating system don't know what thats called in english). In holland, you can obtain it in several herb stores and also in fantasyshops (withcraftshops). Good luck with finding it! greetings, pongwiffy

It was not in a fish tank. OTL; And yes, it was one that came in a little box with a plastic bowl and some lava rocks, lol. I lost the instructions back when I got it, but I have just found them online: http://www.scientificsonline.com/dinosaur-plant-instructions Hmm: "When you bring me back to life, change my water and rinse me every day for the first few weeks." and "I will grow in my bowl of water indefinitely, although I do prefer to a few naps each year." So I guess I can have it out for a long time! Maybe it smells the way it does because I didn't follow the rinsing instruction closely enough the first time around.. hopefully I can undo that. The only plant food I have is Schultz 10-15-10, would that work? And would spraying the leaves with it really work better than putting it in the water where the roots are? Sorry I'm still sort of new to all this plant stuff, so I'm just trying to figure out what's really best and why.

After 5 hours sitting in water, I place them in soil, mist them and cover them like @Nate G. do. The next morning, they almost fully open, I discover that the small one is a duo and the big one is cluster of 4 plants, a quartet!!! I only buy 2 plants from John but it turn out to be 6 plants 🤣 BUT there's one problem, I see some white hair-like fiber under some leaf, MOLD!!! I bet it is because of the rain water I use to mist them ( since I have no distilled water and tap water in my state is full of mineral stuff) and the dead leaf's sponge like structure that hold water causing mold to grow. I go to Lowe's to buy some limestone and put them in the soil and also remove some dead leaves to prevent mold. Ordered grow light on Amazon but it won't arrive til next week, so I use aquarium led light for now. I also found another plant in the garage that my lil sis bought before, it look so pale brown and I don't think it is alive, but I will give it a try and see if the core is somehow alive. Since I don't have a tent to keep the humidity high, I will use a small aquarium as alternative and barely cover them to increase the humidity. (To be Continue)
