How to water your Kokedama!

Watering Instructions:

To hydrate your kokedama, place it in a shallow dish filled with water, approximately 1-2cm deep, for about 10 minutes. Once the kokedama has absorbed the water through its base, transfer it to a drying rack for 5 minutes to allow excess water to drain off. Return the kokedama to its designated location, ensuring it receives adequate airflow to minimize the risk of mold.

For outdoor kokedama, we recommend watering once a week, while indoor plants may need watering every 3 days on average. A handy indicator for watering is the weight of the kokedama—when it feels light and dry to the touch, it's time to water. Once watered, the kokedama will become noticeably heavier.

Succulents and cacti have different needs, requiring minimal water and plenty of sunlight. Water them approximately once every 2 weeks or earlier if the leaves begin to shrivel.

Important reminders:

  • DO NOT LEAVE YOUR KOKEDAMA SOAKING IN WATER FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME.
  • DO NOT PLACE THE KOKEDAMA UNDER RUNNING WATER.

Prevent mold and rot by avoiding over watering or prolonged immersion of your kokedama in water. It's crucial to let the moss ball dry out (become dry to the touch) for the recommended period.

For certain plants, misting with water from a spray bottle is beneficial. We suggest lightly misting your plant regularly.
