Each plant is unique you might not receive the exact plant in the photo but you will receive one as similar as possible. Expect that some dirt will have come loose in transit, the most important part is that the roots are in tact and healthy. The best way to care for your plant is to immediately water it and place it in bright, indirect light.
When watering a kokedama, fill a container with water and allow the moss ball to sit, submerged in the water with the plant end up, for 10-20 minutes, or when it has been fully saturated with water. Allow the kokedama to drip dry after it’s been removed from the container. You’ll want to water your kokedama when it starts to feel light or at least once a week. Moss balls also appreciate a good misting in addition to soaking. These are ideal for bathrooms and kitchens due to how warm and humid they are, but you’ll want to keep them away from drying vents, heaters, outside doors, and open windows.
