I place this "miracle rose" in a glass bowl of water, change it daily and after just a few hours the brown-green blossom begins to open. After about 2 weeks, I pour off all the water again so that the "desert flower" doesn't start to mould and leave it to dry in an open jar for at least 1 month. Then I can start all over again. The term "plant seeds" used by Galaxus is technically incorrect or probably somewhat misleading.
