Light & temperature

Your kokedama is a little ball of green magic! Every plant has its own personality, so its light and temperature needs will depend on the variety you've chosen.

☀️ Find the right spot: Most kokedama plants enjoy bright, indirect light, but some varieties prefer more shade. Check the needs of your specific plant to help it thrive.

🌡️ Keep it comfortable: Avoid placing your kokedama near radiators, air conditioners, or areas with sudden temperature changes.

🍃 Watch your plant: Its leaves can give you clues about how happy it is in its environment. Keep an eye out for changes and adjust its position if needed.

Every plant is unique — find its happy place and let it grow! 

Watering

Watering your kokedama is easy! The secret is to check the weight of the moss ball rather than follow a strict watering schedule.

🌿 Feel the weight: When the ball feels light, it's time for a drink! If it still feels heavy, it likely has enough moisture.

💦 Give it a soak: Place your kokedama in a bowl of water and let the ball absorb the water until it feels heavier and thoroughly moist.

🌱 Let it drain: Gently lift the kokedama out of the bowl and allow any excess water to drain before placing it back in its spot.

🍃 Know your plant: Different plants have different watering needs, so how often you water will depend on the variety, the season, and your home's conditions.

A thirsty kokedama will feel light — give it a little soak, let it drain, and it's ready to go! 

Maintenance

A little attention goes a long way in keeping your kokedama healthy and beautiful!

🍃 Remove dead leaves: Gently remove any dead or yellowing leaves to keep your plant looking fresh and help prevent mold.

🌱 Trim when needed: If your plant starts growing a little wild, carefully trim it to maintain its shape and encourage healthy growth.

🪴 Time for a new home? As your plant grows, it may eventually outgrow its kokedama. If the roots become crowded or start growing through the ball, you can transfer it to a larger kokedama or a regular pot with suitable soil. Choose a potting mix that suits your plant's needs and give its roots a little room to grow.

Give your kokedama a little love, and it will keep bringing a touch of living greenery to your space!
