Watering Your Kokedama

Kokedama balls require a simple dunking method rather than traditional watering. This technique ensures proper hydration without oversaturation.

Additional Details | Care Instructions

• Step 1: Submerge the moss ball portion of the Kokedama ball into water. Ensure that the foliage isn't submerged into the water.
• Step 2: Soak your kokedama ball for 1-2 minutes or until the bubbling stops.
• Step 3: Gently squeeze the Kokedama Ball for excess water and place it in a colander for another 30 minutes. This step will ensure no dripping.
• Step 4: Hang your Kokedama Ball in a medium-light zone in your home and mist your moss every 4-5 days. Remember that moss prefers slight dampness at all times.
• Tip: Moss will turn brown if it's under watered or if it has been overwatered which prevents soil/moss breathability.
• Tip: If your Kokedama ball feels light, then it's probably time for watering. (Tip within a Tip: Feel the weight of your Kokedama ball right after you water and a week after you water, this will help you get a better idea of when it's time to water. This same technique can be applied to potted house plants as well!)

Display and Placement

Hang your kokedama in areas with medium to bright indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight which can dry out the moss too quickly. The moss ball should feel slightly damp to the touch and maintain its rich green color when properly hydrated. Misting every 4-5 days keeps the moss healthy between waterings.
