Different plants have different water requirements. Understand the specific needs of each plant species you have. Some prefer to dry out between watering, while others like consistently moist soil.

Our kokedamas can be watered by simply leaving them in a bowl with water so they can absorb as much water as they need, do not let them sit in the water for more than 10 minutes and make sure any excess water can drip of the plant.

Signs of a plant outgrowing its pot or needing repotting include roots coming out of the drainage holes or a decrease in growth. If water runs through the pot very quickly during watering, it could indicate that the root ball has become too compacted and isn't holding water properly. Refer to our repotting guide for guidance.

Routinely inspect your plants for signs of pests, such as webs, discolored leaves, or holes. Catching problems early makes them easier to manage. Here is some tips on preventing common issues:

-Avoid overwatering, as soggy soil can attract pests and promote fungal growth. Water at the base of the plant to keep leaves dry.

-Regularly remove fallen leaves and debris from the soil surface to eliminate hiding spots for pests.

- If you notice any affected leaves or stems, promptly remove and dispose of them to prevent the issue from spreading.

-Place plants in their recommended light conditions. Stressed plants are more susceptible to pests and diseases.

-Avoid overcrowding plants, which can create favorable conditions for pests and diseases to spread.

Pruning encourages healthy growth and shape. Our care instructions include guidance on when and how to prune your plants to maintain their vitality. But as a general rule, prune away any dead, yellowing, or diseased leaves and stems as soon as you notice them. This prevents the spread of disease and encourages new growth. Avoid drastic pruning, removing more than a third of the plant's overall growth at once, as it can stress the plant.

Keeping your plant's leaves clean is essential for proper photosynthesis. Use a spray bottle filled with room-temperature water to mist the leaves. Then wipe the leaves with a soft cloth or sponge. Gently wipe the top and bottom surfaces of the leaves to remove dust and dirt.

The amount of light, the air temperature and other factors will affect how often you need to water your kokedama, but the easiest way to know when, is by weight: LIGHTER = DRIER.

Take your kokedama and give it a good soak in a sink full of room temperature water for 5 minutes or until heavy) allowing it to drain before putting it back. Don’t be afraid to skip this way of watering once in a while and alternate with “the normal way” just from above.

Just be sure what’s your plant needs.
