How to take care of the plant

It is a drought-resistant desert plant. Without water, it can survive for many years without deteriorating. If you give it moisture, it will turn from a brown ball to a green plant.
If you want to "wake up the plant", take a bowl or a deep plate, put a few stones, pebbles or minerals in it, pour a little water and insert a ball of the plant so that the plant itself is not submerged. You can also put the plant in soil mixed with sand in the same ratio and with 2 parts of humus, but it is not necessary. Place it in a bright place with indirect light, do not put it in a draft, window or heater. After a few hours, the plant comes to life fully. The plant does not last too long in water and must be left without water at least 1 day a week. It is necessary to let the plant dry completely every few weeks.
Give the plant fertilizer - in spring and mid-summer with fertilizer added to the water. You can trim the ends of the plant that cannot rehydrate and turn green.

Store the plant in a dry place at rest.
