Thank you so much for purchasing a Planta Mamita Kokedama! To ensure the longevity of your Kokedama, we suggest you follow these 8 simple steps:
- Find out about what type of plant you have (check the nametag!) see if it is an indoor or outdoor plant and act accordingly:
Indoor plant – minimum water once a week.
Outdoor plant – depending on weather, once or twice a week.
- If your Kokedama is looking down, try putting it in a warm spot (but not with direct sunlight or too close to a heater/radiator) for at least a day.
- You should try to ‘bathe’ them once a week if they are indoors or every 2-3 days if they are outdoors.
- To bathe your kokedama, you can do two things:
- Place the kokedama in a plate and add about a cupfull of water then just leave the plant do all the work!
- Again, place the kokedama on a plate and water the base of the plant.
If there are any dry leaves, make sure to remove them to keep your plants looking nice and fresh :)
- Try not to move the plant too frequently, as they don't really like having to readjust to light or humidity. A good place to put your kokedama is in a humid room like kitchen or bathroom but far from the heater.
- Take care of the plant, (haha sounds cliché) remember, they are living beings, and need water and light to survive!
- They do look really good hanging on a wall or just as a centerpiece, so never be afraid to experiment!
- Every 4 months you can put some general fertilizer dissolved in the water so that the plant can feed with nutrients.
