Here is a good link that explains more about the plant:

I did notice in a few places I read that you do need to take it out and let it dry up again after a week otherwise it will start to get mouldy like it did for me the first time.

See, Donna...yours is turning a nice fresh green color....mine only turns a 'hint' of green, and not on the entire plant, either!

hope43....I got mine from an ebay seller.....search for 'Resurrection fern'.
