The plant of your choosing will be hand wrapped into a Kokedama moss ball and shipped to you in reflective wrapping to protect your plant from cold or heat. My Kokedamas are made by loosely wrapping the roots of your plant in sphagnum moss and premium potting soil and bonsai soil mix. Each moss ball is hand made and ships out 5 business days after order is placed. I ship all orders on Fridays. Size of plant may vary as these are natural growing plant. I can also prepare your order as a give and include a gift note on your order free of charge! Please send me a message or add the note at check out. Care instruction for your Kokedama will be included in your box. While living in kokedama form most plants like to be watered once a week with the exception being succulents. To water your kokedama soak for 20 minutes in a bowl of water until saturated. Gently Squeeze moss ball to remove excess water. Set your moss ball in a ventilated bright area until the moss is no longer damp. You can rest your moss ball on a small bowl or hang it. In-between watering you may mist the moss around your plant to refresh it. To add a pop of color to your moss ball I use some colored decorative moss. You can expect to see discoloration during watering the first few times you soak it. This is normal and will fade with time.
