OT Rose of Jerhico

OK, when I was talking about these plants a bit ago, somebody (I think
it was Jessamy) said you can kill them by long neglect and then a
monsoon.

'Splain please!

I have looked and looked and can't find anything about that.

I know you can kill them by keeping them non-dormant for too long,
they will mold or mildew.

But as for neglect then overwatering, they are a variety of
ressurection plant, that is what you are supposed to do with them?

yep that was me

don't ask me exactly how... its a trick I have of being able to kill non
killable plants.

but basically I watered it by plonking it into a bowel of water, left it
till the water was gone and then when I remembered to look I would start
again with the process... one day it just gave up the ghost and
disintegrated - it "only" took me all of 9 months to kill it

I am in awe.

The usual cause of death for these plants is too much kindness
causeing the onset of mold.

You got mad skills girl!

As a matter of amusement, my Rose of Jerhico came from a shop in the
Netherlands. (is the 'T' in 'the' supposed to be capitalized? I am
never sure.)
DH was paid for some conjure with a gift account at:

and the Rose of Jerhico was one of the things he got.
