Getting to water my first resurrection plant/rose of Jericho since moving here to ETX last summer. This was packed the night before Mabon back in OKC, brought home on Mabon, and watered today.

It feels good to have some of my roots back. I watered it with water from the flowers I offered my ancestors by soaking the stems in a small vial of water. It feels good. It feels right. I can feel the same energy as I feel around the bundles of the black eyes Susan. I'm so happy.

The Rose of Jericho: Its Origins and Common Spiritual Uses

Hey there, beautiful people! Today, we're diving into the mystical world of the Rose of Jericho, also known as the "resurrection plant." This little plant is more than just a fascinating botanical wonder; it carries deep spiritual significance and a rich history that spans centuries. Whether you're new to spiritual practices or a seasoned pro, the Rose of Jericho can add a magical touch to your journey.

What is the Rose of Jericho?

The Rose of Jericho isn't your typical rose. It's a small, desert plant that has the incredible ability to survive extreme dehydration. When it's dry, it curls up into a tight ball and appears lifeless. But, once you add water, it miraculously unfurls into a beautiful, green plant. This resurrection-like quality is what makes it so special and revered in various cultures and spiritual practices.

Origins of the Rose of Jericho

The Rose of Jericho, scientifically known as Selaginella lepidophylla, is native to the deserts of the Middle East, particularly around the region of Jericho, hence its name. It thrives in arid environments, demonstrating an extraordinary ability to survive long periods of drought. This plant has been known and used by indigenous peoples for thousands of years, celebrated for its resilience and symbolic resurrection.

Common Spiritual Uses of the Rose of Jericho

Renewal and Rebirth

Because of its ability to "come back to life," the Rose of Jericho is often used in rituals and ceremonies that symbolize renewal, rebirth, and new beginnings. Placing the plant in water and watching it open up can be a powerful visual and spiritual reminder of your own potential for transformation and growth.

Protection and Purification

The Rose of Jericho is also believed to have protective and purifying properties. People often use it to cleanse their homes of negative energy. Simply place the plant in a bowl of water and set it in a central location in your home. The idea is that as the plant absorbs the water, it also absorbs and transforms negative energy, leaving your space refreshed and protected.

Prosperity and Abundance

In some traditions, the Rose of Jericho is associated with attracting prosperity and abundance. To harness this energy, you can place coins or small crystals in the water with the plant. As it opens up, visualize your financial situation flourishing and your life becoming more abundant in every way.

Spiritual Connection

The Rose of Jericho can also be a tool for deepening your spiritual connection. Meditate with the plant, focusing on its transformation from dormancy to vitality. Let it remind you of the cyclical nature of life and the ever-present potential for growth and renewal within yourself.

How to Use the Rose of Jericho in Your Spiritual Practice

Setting Up Your Rose of Jericho

Choose a Bowl: Find a shallow, wide bowl that you love. This will be the home for your Rose of Jericho.

Add Water: Fill the bowl with enough water to cover the base of the plant, but not so much that it’s fully submerged.

Place the Plant: Put the Rose of Jericho in the bowl. Over the next few hours to days, it will start to unfurl and "come to life."

Maintaining Your Rose of Jericho

Change the Water: Refresh the water every few days to prevent stagnation and mold growth.

Dry Periods: Give the plant a break from the water occasionally. Let it dry out completely for a few days before rehydrating it again. This mimics its natural cycle and keeps it healthy.

Incorporating the Rose of Jericho into Rituals

New Moon Ritual: Use the Rose of Jericho during the new moon to set intentions for new beginnings. As the plant opens, visualize your intentions taking root and beginning to grow.

Home Cleansing Ceremony: When moving into a new home or after a significant event, use the Rose of Jericho to cleanse and purify your space.

Prosperity Ritual: Place coins or crystals around the plant in the water. As it opens, meditate on the flow of abundance into your life.

Conclusion

The Rose of Jericho is a beautiful symbol of resilience, renewal, and the cycles of life. Whether you're looking to cleanse your space, attract abundance, or deepen your spiritual practice, this magical plant can be a powerful ally. Embrace its ancient wisdom and let it inspire you to transform and grow, no matter what challenges you face.

OK so apparently the secret is to completely submerge the plant in water to wake it up lol

This ^ is Phil. My 12 year old philodendron that has come back from the dead at least 6 times in the time I've had him. He has been reduced to baby pot because he is nothing more than a picky little bitch who wants to die. How do I know he is picky?

This ^ is Janice. She is an offspring of Phil I propagated 4 years ago from a 6 inch cutting. She has outgrown 3 pots until finally I put her in this big one. She, like Phil, has traveled across 6 state lines with me, gets the same amount of sunlight and is on the same watering schedule with the exact same potting soil.

I'm not a bad plant dad because Phil is a disaster puppy that can't handle life. He's just dramatic. Meanwhile Janice previously was in my home office where she got little to no sun light and I regularly forgot to water her.

Phil's just picky. Don't be a Phil.

My resurrection plant / rose of jericho is looking questionable. I think I did something wrong? Anyone know anything about these?

It's been a week and it never opened fully or turned fully green. Then it started to get a little mold. D:
