Understanding Plant Options
Nature Hills offers plants in two main formats:
- Container Plants: Grown in pots with soil, sized by container volume and plant age
- Bare Root Plants: Dormant plants without soil, sized by height measurements
Container Plant Sizes
Container sizes indicate plant age and growing capacity rather than liquid volume equivalents. Our containers follow industry-standard nursery "trade gallon" specifications, which differ from standard liquid gallon measurements.

Need a unique gift plant, or high-style accent for your home or office? Then you need to check out the traditional living art form called Kokedama! Easy to care for and maintain, Kokedama has been practiced in Japan for centuries, translating literally as 'Moss Ball', 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! Now Nature Hills Nursery is proud to be shipping several varieties of ready-to-enjoy Kokedamas!
You'll love the carefree Calathea Lancifolia (Calathea spp.) elevated into the traditional art form of Kokedama! Also known as Rattlesnake Plants because of the striking, geometric pattern of alternating dark and light green markings that runs the length of each leaf! Further accented by a lovely wavy, rippled edge and a purple underside to each long, sword-like blade.
These plants move! Every night, like Prayer Plants, Calathea folds its leaves shut for the night, then open back up each morning. The contrast of greens and purple on these plants creates an eye-catching display! They are perfect low-maintenance air purifying plants that improve your health while increasing oxygen levels in your home or office! Requiring a permanent location in your home or office, Calatheas are easy to care for tropical houseplants that do not need much in the way of fussing over or care!

Set one on a side table or a bright front entry console table atop a pile of white stones or seashells. Fantastic little accents when included in a hanging or wall display on a sunny wall of your living room.
These easy-care houseplants are thoughtful and unique housewarming gifts, hostess gifts, or celebratory gifts all around - perfect for newbies and experienced gardeners alike! Best of all, the Kokedama root 'binding' method - they will never need to be repotted!

#ProPlantTips for Care:
These 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.
Check out the full details on caring for your Kokedama Here in our Garden Blog!
- 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
