Material: Plant, wrapped in moss, with White Patina Tray

Dimensions: approx.Sm 9" - 11"H, LG 12"- 14"

Bright indirect sunlight or partial shade. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the delicate leaves. Prefers average room temperatures and is sensitive to cold, drafts, and sudden temperature changes.

When the ball feels light and dry submerge 3⁄4 of the kokedama in a glass or metal bowl of water for 10-15 minutes. Gently squeeze out excess water and place back in the saucer.

The plant can become leggy over time. You can prune it to maintain a more compact shape. Remove any yellowing or dead leaves.

Propagating is very easy. The Pilea produces "pups" or offsets at the base of the main stem. Once these pups are a few inches tall, you can carefully separate them from the mother plant (ensuring they have some roots) and plant them in their own small pots.

When to Repot:

When you begin to see the root structure of the plant protrude out of the moss ball, it's time to consider moving it to a pot.

Repotting Steps:

1. Find a pot: Choose a pot that is roughly 1/2" wider in circumference than the moss ball.
2. Add Potting Soil: Fill the bottom of the pot with potting soil. Add enough soil so that when the ball is placed in the pot, the top of the ball sits slightly above the top of the pot.
3. Place the Ball: Place the entire ball (string and moss included) into the pot and add soil around it.
4. Soil Level: Ensure the top of the ball sits 1/2" above the soil line.
5. Water and Adjust: Water the plant and add additional soil if needed to maintain the proper soil level.To maintain a more compact shape, prune it
