The resurrection fern lives on the branches of large trees such as cypresses and can often be seen carpeting the shady areas on limbs of large oak trees repeatedly exposed to rainfall. However, it is known to grow on the surfaces of rocks and dead logs as well. It is often found in the company of other epiphytic plants, such as Spanish moss.
Some plants, like begonias, will readily grow roots from a leaf cutting. Ferns, however, will not. There are a few fern species, though, that can grow plantlets from a stipe (the stem piece). ...

Host Zach Urness talks about a program that allows harvesting plants from national and state forests and replanting them in your own backyard.
Selaginella lepidophylla is a true resurrection plant that can revive and regain metabolic function after a period of extreme desiccation. Anastatica hierochuntica is not a resurrection plant, but rather a tumbleweed also capable of repeated expansion and retraction, which superficially resembles revival.
In addition, due to the small size of the plant many specimens can be observed growing simultaneously, allowing for larger sample sizes in research studies. Following the culture of "C-Fern" in dishes it can be transplanted to a dirt substrate, where it can be further allowed to grow and future generations can be used for subsequent studies.
A resurrection plant is any poikilohydric plant that can survive extreme dehydration, even over months or years. The resurrection plant Selaginella lepidophylla reviving within 3 hours after the addition of water. Examples include: Anastatica hierochuntica, also known as the Rose of Jericho, a plant species native to deserts of North Africa
