Why can you live without dripping water for 10 years? why do you keep it at home for a few days?

A few years ago, my friend bought a pot of flowers and said it was a desert rose, but when I looked at it, I saw that it was the grass that returned the soul of the nine dead.

My friend said that's what the florist said, but desert roses are known as "desert moss roses" in foreign languages, and it's not surprising that some people call them wrong!

(the grass is still very beautiful, especially to develop bonsai.)

It is also known as Selaginella officinalis, and there are many varieties. It is one of the most drought-tolerant plants in the world. It can stay away from dripping water for several years. When it comes into contact with water a few years later, it can still restore its green appearance, and it only takes a day or two to recover.

But it is in nature, it is easy to restore growth in a wet and warm environment, but it is easy to wilt in a dry environment at home, and even die after a few days.

(the picture above shows the effect of delayed photography)

As pictured above, it curls up into a grass ball when it is dry and will not release until it comes into contact with water. It can stay dead under extreme conditions and live when it comes into contact with water.

In other words, reviving grass from the dead can not bring anything back to life, but let it resurrect itself!

If you have seen what it looks like in the original place, you will feel that it is special, but it is very bearable. The picture below shows a pile of dead grass growing on a shady slope. It looks very green, the plant type is very tall, and the environment is moist and cool. It is suitable for them to grow, and you can see the hairball like the one above!

Flower friends can find reviving grass in some unspoiled shady slopes, which are of the same family as ferns, but their vitality is particularly strong and they have very special skills to save their lives.

In addition to its very strong vitality, it also has a very good effect, which itself is a kind of herbal medicine, but its effect is not to bring the dead back to life, but to activate blood circulation and pass menstruation, and it also has a very good effect on injury caused by falls. It is generally used for external use and is mixed with some herbs to stop bleeding.

Of course, now the flower market can also buy reviving grass, but it still belongs to a minority species, it looks so strange, not every flower friend will like it.

If you have no confidence in growing plants, you can try to raise Nine Dead return Grass. It is very resistant to barren, does not need much fertile soil, or even you only need to raise it with a basin of water!

However, it should be noted that it can not be frozen, it is too cold and easy to frostbite.

As pictured above, they are all horticultural varieties. Some flower friends call it "Red Peacock Selaginella", and some places will collect it for herbal medicine, such as the following, but I still think it is better to grow it in its native place, no matter how easy it is to raise it. It belongs to nature.

Plants do everything they can to adapt to the environment in order to survive. They change their sight and successfully evolve special skills, all of which are commendable.
