Integrating the Spirals: Update on resurrecting a Resurrection (Rose of Jericho) plant

The work of resurrecting a Rose of Jericho plant is taking a bit more time and effort than I’d imagined. I happened to notice that it was starting to gather some white mold on it and I have no idea why. But I thought it best to rinse off the mold and clean out the pie plate and go for a redo.

My soulie sister and fellow blogger, Debra sent me this plant months ago as a dried up plant. Debra wrote that I should watch some YouTube videos to understand and learn how to resurrect it, and I have. Many videos! (If you missed the first couple of posts about this plant, click or tap here and here.)

Continuing to resurrect a Rose of Jericho

I thoroughly rinsed (in cold water) the Rose of Jericho and cleaned the deep dish pie plate.
I removed all the former shells, rocks, and crystals I’d placed in the plate with the plant previously. My thought was that they might have contributed to the issue. I had found some river rocks out in the yard, washed and dried them to use in the plate to hold the plant suspended over the distilled water.

Once I got the plant placed back into the pie plate, sitting gingerly on top of the river rocks, it looked happy enough. –Sheila Murrey

Here’s the photo (top and bottom) of the empty, finished deep dish pie plate that I had forgot to take and post months ago:

I’d like to say this is the end of the story and the plant is thriving, but unfortunately, I checked on it a few days after I’d taken these photos and it was covered in white mold AGAIN! Thus, I repeated the process and am giving it another chance at life. I’ll take another photo in a few days, if it makes it and post another update. Fingers-crossed. Reiki given. And all of the above!
