How to Care for Kokedamas
Caring for Kokedamas is easy with the right routine:
- Light: Match the plant’s light needs. Most do well in bright, indirect light
- Watering: Soak the moss ball in water for 10–15 minutes when it feels dry or light
- Let it drain fully before rehanging or placing it back on display
- Humidity: Most Kokedama plants prefer moderate humidity. Mist regularly in dry indoor spaces
- Fertilizing: Feed monthly with a diluted liquid fertilizer during the growing season
- Trimming: Lightly prune dead leaves or stems to keep your plant healthy and tidy
Monitor moss and twine over time, rewrap or refresh as needed to keep your Kokedama looking its best. Read the full care and information about Kokedamas here!
