Dinosaur Plant
A houseplant you can forget to water for 50 years? Perfect for people like
us. Sure, there are some folks out there who like tending to plants. They're
always plucking off bugs, pruning, misting, etc. (You and I have better
things to do with our time.) Thankfully, there's the Selaginella
lepidophylla, also called the Dinosaur Plant or Resurection Plant. It's
truly the last plant you'll ever need to buy, able to survive for upwards of
50 years without being watered. Sure, it'll dry up into a ugly brown
knob. But add a little water and within hours it'll spring fully back to
life. The
Dinosaur Plant has been around for at least 400 million years. Own a bit
of the Paleozoic Era on your desktop for 25 bucks.
