Kokedama moss ball: a minimalist, Japanese-inspired way to display plants. Roots are wrapped in nutrient-rich soil, encased in a hand-formed ball, and covered in living moss—creating a compact, living sculpture you can place on a tray or hang. Ideal for small-space styling, it brings a lush, green focal point with low-maintenance care: regular misting and occasional soaking to keep the moss healthy. Perfect for air plants, ferns, pothos, and other moisture-loving species.

Light

• Bright, indirect light is best.

• Avoid direct hot sun (can dry and burn moss) and deep shade (slows growth).

Watering

• Submerge the moss ball in a bowl of room-temperature water until it feels heavy (about 5–15 minutes).

• Let excess water drip away before returning it to its display.

• Frequency: once a week for most indoor conditions; every 4–5 days in warm, dry rooms; every 10–14 days in cool, humid spaces. Check by feeling weight—light = time to water.

Humidity & Temperature

• Enjoys higher humidity (50%+). Mist the moss surface 2–3 times weekly if indoor air is dry.

• Ideal temperature range: 60–75°F (15–24°C). Protect from drafts and extremes.

Feeding

• Feed lightly during the growing season (spring–summer) with a diluted liquid fertilizer (1/4–1/2 strength) every 4–6 weeks. Stop or reduce in fall/winter.

Pruning & Maintenance

• Trim dead leaves or leggy growth to keep shape.

• Replace or refresh moss and soil after 12–18 months if ball deteriorates.

Placement & Handling

• Place on a dish, driftwood, or hang with string. Use a saucer to catch drips when watering.

• Handle gently; avoid squeezing the ball frequently.
