Care guide

Care is a ritual, not a chore.

A few minutes a week is all your piece asks for. Start with the essentials, then find your plant below.

Care changes everything.

01The watering dunk

Submerge the moss ball in room-temperature water for ten to fifteen minutes. Let it drink slowly, then drain completely before returning it home.

02Finding light

Choose bright, indirect light. A gentle east-facing window keeps foliage vivid without drying the moss or scorching tender leaves.

03Pruning and growth

Remove tired leaves with clean scissors and turn your piece weekly. Small, regular attention encourages balanced, expressive growth.

Kokedama

Water
Soak the moss ball in room-temperature water for 10–15 minutes when it feels light. Usually every 7–10 days.
Light
Bright, indirect light. Avoid hot afternoon sun through glass.
Humidity
Mist the moss between soaks in dry, heated rooms.
Signs
Crispy moss means thirsty. A sour smell means it’s staying wet too long — let it dry out longer.

Mounted plants

Water
Mist several times a week and soak the moss pad, board and all, every 1–2 weeks.
Light
Bright, indirect light. Hang near — not directly in — a window.
Feeding
A diluted orchid fertiliser once a month in spring and summer.
Hanging
Hang on a sturdy hook and keep the moss off painted walls while it dries.

Air plants

Water
Dunk for 20 minutes once a week, then dry upside down for a few hours.
Light
Bright, indirect light. They love bathrooms with a window.
Airflow
Good airflow helps them dry and prevents rot at the base.
Signs
Curling or rolled leaves mean they’re thirsty.
