Kokedama is a ball of soil covered with moss on which an ornamental plant grows. The idea has its origins in Japan, where it is a combination of the nearai bonsai and kusamono planting styles. Kokedama balls are created using a clay-rich soil blend that is covered with moss to help maintain its shape/act as its case. All the elements used to make Kokedama balls are natural and organic matters.
When caring for Kokedama ball plants, you'll need to consider its case—the moss, as well as the plant itself.
Lighting: Since Kokedama Balls are cased in moss, avoid hanging your Kokedama in direct sunlight zones of your home. Instead, opt for bright or medium-light zones that will not dry out your moss faster.
Feeding: When feeding (aka fertilizing) your Kokedama, add the fertilizer to the water used to soak the Kokedama. As with all houseplants, avoid feeding during the winter months. Kokedama balls prefer dunking over water-can watering.
Tip: If there is any mold growth, simply wipe off the mold and prevent watering that section and increase airflow.
