Your Rose arrives naturally dried and curled and gradually unfurls when its base is placed in shallow water. \u003cstrong\u003eYou will receive ONE individual Rose of Jericho\u003c\/strong\u003e, with natural variations in size, shape, and color.\u003cspan class=\"PDq2pG_selectionAnchor\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn our folk practice, we generally work with Rose of Jericho in shallow water for \u003cstrong\u003e2–3 days\u003c\/strong\u003e, allowing the plant to open while prayers, intentions, or other workings are performed. When the working is complete, remove the plant and allow it to dry completely back into its curled, dormant state before working with it again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDon't throw away the water.\u003c\/strong\u003e Rose of Jericho water can be incorporated into prosperity and money work, floor washes, blessing work, and threshold or doorway work, or used to dress appropriate ritual objects. It can also be \u003cstrong\u003ereturned to the earth and used in your garden or around outdoor plants\u003c\/strong\u003e, particularly with intentions of growth, abundance, renewal, or prosperity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Little Rose of Jericho History\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plant commonly sold and worked with as Rose of Jericho in American folk and conjure practice is \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSelaginella lepidophylla\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, also known as Resurrection Plant and botanically as False Rose of Jericho. It is a different species from \u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnastatica hierochuntica\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e, the Middle Eastern and North African plant traditionally called the True Rose of Jericho.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe word \u003cstrong\u003e“false” does not mean fake or an improper plant for folk practice\u003c\/strong\u003e. Folk names don't always correspond exactly with botanical taxonomy. \u003cem\u003eSelaginella lepidophylla\u003c\/em\u003e, native to Mexico and the southwestern United States, became established under the Rose of Jericho name in American folk and conjure practice and within the spiritual-supply trade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd this little plant earned the name \u003cstrong\u003eResurrection Plant\u003c\/strong\u003e for good reason. \u003cem\u003eSelaginella lepidophylla\u003c\/em\u003e can survive extreme dehydration in a dormant state and become physiologically active again when water returns. Its extraordinary ability to seemingly come back to life makes its traditional associations with \u003cstrong\u003erenewal, resilience, prosperity, and new beginnings\u003c\/strong\u003e particularly fitting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLonger workings, including seven-day workings, exist within different traditions, but seven days in water is \u003cstrong\u003enot required\u003c\/strong\u003e. Avoid keeping your Rose continuously wet for extended periods, as prolonged moisture and stagnant water can encourage mold and deterioration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor spiritual and garden use only.
