The Jericho rose is the plant that best symbolizes rebirth; a symbol of peace, happiness, love, longevity, and good luck.

The Jericho rose is also known as the “resurrection plant.”

It is not just a plant, but a natural remedy for absorbing unpleasant odors in the home.

This is due to its unique characteristic of curling up when deprived of water and opening up and turning green once watered. As soon as its roots are watered, this rose gradually opens and regains its original color.

Given the symbolic power of this plant, which represents “rebirth,” it is well suited as a gift for special occasions such as weddings, graduations, baptisms, etc.

The Jericho rose has something mystical and fascinating about it, which is largely due to the uniqueness of this plant and the legend associated with it.

Some say that it even possesses supernatural powers and that it holds the secret of immortality.

Jericho rose legend

Legend has it that this Middle Eastern plant was brought to Europe by crusaders and pilgrims traveling through the Holy Land.

Along this route, many superstitions arose about the Jericho rose, but the most plausible one speaks of the plant’s ability to produce miraculous water that quenched the thirst of travelers crossing the desert.

Given the high symbolic value it represents rebirth, the plant is given as a gift on special occasions such as graduations, baptisms, weddings, and communions.

Finally, Jericho rose water has been used since ancient times as a natural remedy for menstrual pain and to promote fertility in women.

Jericho rose meaning

This plant is even mentioned in the Bible, specifically in connection with Jesus, his crucifixion, and resurrection. According to legend, the Jericho rose always bloomed while the Messiah was still alive on the cross, but withered suddenly at the moment of his death.

Mysterious, the rose came back to life after Christ’s resurrection, and from that moment on, it became the preeminent symbol of the rebirth of humanity. For this reason, it is also called the resurrection plant.

Indeed, if you observe it, the Jericho rose curls up when it has no water and opens up again as soon as it is watered. Even its color changes from shades of brown to deep green, which is also its original color.

Perhaps this is why the aura of positivity surrounding this special plant has remained intact to this day. In Europe, growing a Jericho rose at home is believed to bring happiness to the household. In short, this plant has always been associated with serenity, peace, and resurrection, and is a symbol of longevity.

Among some peoples, even today, Jericho rose branches and flowers are placed in bowls filled with water at Christmas or Easter to commemorate the martyrdom of Jesus Christ.

Jericho rose cultivation

The Jericho rose, or Jericho rose, is a plant native to the Middle East whose botanical name is Anastatica hierochuntica. It belongs to the Brassicaceae family and is often confused with Selaginella lepidophylla, which is very similar to the Jericho rose but larger and with different botanical characteristics. For this reason, most of the plants available commercially are actually false Jericho roses.

At first glance, the Jericho rose looks like a bulb. It is the irrigation water, specifically its temperature and quantity, that determines the plant’s color. Learning to respect its natural cycles is therefore essential for growing it properly.

The irrigation water should thoroughly wet all the roots, but it must not remain in contact with the bulb for more than 3 consecutive days. After this period, the plant must dry out completely, and little by little you will see it open up and change color. When the plant is fully open, it demonstrates a remarkable ability to absorb unpleasant odors from the surrounding environment.

The Jericho rose will then dry out completely until it looks very similar to how it did when you first bought it. At this point, you can decide to keep it dehydrated or put it back in water. In the latter case, wait at least 15 days.

This is because, as a desert plant, the Jericho rose is well suited to arid and scorching climates, so it can live without being watered for a very long time. It dies with the arrival of the dry season and blooms again with the first rain.

By following its cycle of opening and closing with the right amount of water, you can preserve your Jericho rose in all its beauty for a very long time, or even forever.

Jericho rose: how to make it bloom?

Given these premises, to make your Jericho rose bloom, you must immerse it in a bowl or pot with half a centimeter of warm water. The outside temperature must be at least 15 degrees Celsius, and the ideal environment is fairly humid, bright, and well-ventilated. As the driest season approaches, the plant will begin to thin out, and the branches will recede until they form a compact spherical mass. In this way, the Jericho rose closes around its seeds, protecting them inside.

There, the seeds will remain dormant but will become perfectly viable and ready to reproduce with each new bloom. Alternatively, the plant can also be propagated by separating the bulbs.
