How to fertilize Rose of Jericho
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Rose of Jericho after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

Iv had mine in a ceramic bowl for a few weeks now, it's almost over halfway Green again, do I wait until it's fully green and hydrated before letting it dry out again? How long do I let it be dry before adding water again? #RoseOfJericho

Just moved my roses to a better spot. I got them yesterday and moved them to a different location cause they spent all day yesterday in a dark place. I have them on moist paper towel placed on wet river rocks, is that an okay potting substitute? And any tips or ideas on how to propagate them?
