Kokedama

Light

  • Indirect sunlight: Most kokedama prefer bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the moss and plant.

Watering

  • Watering frequency: Water when the moss ball feels dry. This usually means once a week, but it may vary based on humidity and plant type.

  • Watering method: Soak the entire moss ball in a bowl of water for about 10-15 minutes. Allow excess water to drain before placing it back in its spot.

Fertilizing

  • Liquid fertilizer: Use a diluted liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce or stop during fall and winter.

Pruning

  • Regular maintenance: Trim any dead or yellowing leaves to encourage healthy growth.

Re-potting

  • When to re-pot: If the plant outgrows the moss ball, or if the moss looks unhealthy, consider re-potting. Carefully remove the moss and soil, and replant in fresh soil.

Troubleshooting

  • Yellow leaves: Could indicate overwatering or insufficient light.

  • Brown, crispy edges: Likely a sign of underwatering.

Tips

  • Keep the kokedama clean by gently wiping the leaves and moss with a damp cloth.

  • Rotate the kokedama occasionally to ensure even growth.
