Peacock Plant Kokedamas

For the perfect gift plant or high-style accent for your home or office, you need to check out the traditional living art form called Kokedama! Kokedama is a form of Bonsai where a plant has its roots and soil bundled in a ball of moss and wrapped in twine or string, eliminating the need for a pot or container! Easy to care for and maintain, Kokedama has been practiced in Japan for centuries, translating literally as 'Moss Ball'.

You'll love the colorful and interesting Prayer Plant (Calathea makoyana) especially when elevated into the traditional art form of Kokedama! Also known as Makoyana Calathea, Peacock Plants or Cathedral Windows, these tropical houseplants feature striking, geometric patterns of alternating dark and light green pattern that covers every leaf! These glossy oval leaves also feature purple tinges and purple undersides, creating even more interest as they fold and unfold their leaves each day! Just like other Prayer Plants, Calathea folds shut every evening and opens again each morning!

Calathea are beautiful air purifying plants that improve your health while increasing oxygen levels in your home or office! Calatheas are carefree tropical houseplants that do not need much in the way of fussing over or care!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

These vibrant houseplants show off in any kind of bright yet indirect sunlight for the best growth and color. They can also tolerate some partial shade and office lighting too, although you may lose out on some of that bold color in lower light conditions.

Calatheas are sensitive to fluoride and chlorine from tap water, so provide filtered water or bottled water to soak your plant in. 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.

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. Water a bit more regularly and don't allow them to dry out between waterings if you are noticing the edges of your plants becoming brown or drying out, or change what kind of water you are using to soak your plant in.

• Use room temperature filtered, purified, or bottled water - even rainwater
• Bright Indirect Light - Avoid direct sunlight
• Soak for 5-10 minutes & let drain completely
• Avoid AC & heating vent drafts
• Use half-strength fertilizer in the soaking water in spring & fall
