What Makes It Uncommon

Moss Appeal

In Japan, the centuries-old technique of kokedama—cultivating plants in compact balls of moss—was sometimes called poor man’s bonsai. We think of it as the uber-cute cousin of that elegant tradition. Gardener Chris Mower lovingly wraps each plant’s root system in a sphere of soil, string, and vibrant green moss that replaces the usual pot. The eye-catching display brings a brilliant pop of living color to any space when displayed on the included clay saucer or suspended from a simple length of twine. This easy-care succulent thrives in partial shade; to water, just submerge the ball once a week, squeeze out the excess, and you’re good to go. Grown and packaged in St. Louis, Missouri.Note: Due to regulations, this item cannot be shipped to Hawaii.

SHIPPING: In order to guarantee your plant will arrive in the best condition possible, this item can only ship PREFERRED, EXPEDITED or EXPRESS SHIPPING.

Although Chris Mower majored in horticulture, he spent his career in insurance. Credit his kids with getting him back to his roots: When they recommended a hobby after retirement, he turned his lifelong love of gardening (and that college degree) into a business. Now the botanical entrepreneur runs a thriving venture from his home in St. Louis, Missouri, with marketing and logistics help from his daughter Grace. "We find such joy in spreading the happiness that plants bring to people," she says.

I didn't kill it!

I waited a bit before posting review. I am notoriously bad at plants, which is sad because I want a green thumb so bad. This is so easy to care for I didn't manage to kill it. I just followed their instructions. I do have to water weekly because my apartment is so dry. It is also small enough to fit on a desk or counter in NYC apartment and still look cute. I'm beyond happy with this purchase.

Simply Beautiful

This plant is simply beautiful. The instructions to care for the plant are very simple as well. It came perfectly packaged and was easy to unbox. Once unboxed, I immediately followed the watering directions and placed her on display on my kitchen counter. I love that this plant is perfect for beginners and, in my opinion, non-green thumb approved. You simply follow the watering instructions when the plant feels dry and or light.

Unique

This is such a neat way of displaying a plant and it's very easy to take care of. The instructions came with it on how to take care of it and so far it's doing great. I think I will have to take a look at her other plants for sale.

Our house is pretty cool in the winter, which, up here, lasts about 5 months. Could any of these plants survive here?

Verified reply from Allison

Plants grow best with indoor temperatures between 65–75°F. These plants thrive in partial shade and only requires watering once a week by submerging the moss ball squeezing out excess water.

  • undisclosed

Do you repot it in a standard pot when it grows too large for the ball?

Verified reply from Allison

A Kokedama plant will outgrow its moss ball in 1-3 years. At that time, you can either trim the roots or rewrap your plant by unwrapping the moss, add more nutrient-rich soil, then wrap in fresh moss. Moss can be found at your local nursery and online.

  • undisclosed

What is the approximate diameter of the moss ball?

Verified reply from Michael

The root ball diameter would be about half the height. So if the plant is 12" the diameter of the root ball would be about 6". But really it depends on the exact plant's root structure & 1" variation

  • NE

What is the diameter of the saucer.

Verified reply from Allison

A saucer is not included. The maker recommends to carefully remove the packaging around the plant before pulling the plant out of the box. Then, remove the Moss Ball's plastic covering immediately. They recommend that it be placed on a plate, saucer or within a bowl.
