The Plant Sentry Compliance Officer works closely with NatureHills.com and each nursery or fulfillment center to ensure only compliant plants are sold to customers.

#ProPlantTips for Care:
Elephant Bush does prefer to be displayed in any kind of bright, indirect sunlight for the best health, but also tolerates partial shade and office lighting too. Check out the full details on caring for your Kokedama Here in our Garden Blog!
To water your Kokedama, simply submerge the bottom 3/4ths of your moss ball in a dish or the sink and let soak for 5-10 minutes. Remove to a draining area for 20 minutes to let excess water run out of the root system. Then place it back into its display! Repeat as necessary, maintaining a moderate yet consistent moisture level.
Succulent plants like Elephant Bush plants are lower-water usage plants, so monitor moisture levels carefully. Root rot is a death sentence for these plants. Because of many factors, the watering frequency will vary throughout the year. Dry winters with dehumidifiers running may require soaking a couple of times a week! If your Kokedama is as light as air or your plant is wilting, you need to check it more often, or soak it a bit longer each time.

- Use room temperature filtered, purified, or bottled water - even rainwater
