PLACEMENT:
Place it in bright indirect light or shade depending on the plant; indoor or outdoor avoiding direct sunlight (native plants prefer covered area outside).

SOAKING (CHECK ONCE A WEEK WHEN IT FEELS DRY OR LIGHT):
Immerse the ball part in a bowl of water, plant side up. Push the moss ball down so that it is fully submerged and begins to absorb water. Allow to soak for 10-15 minutes or until fully saturated with water. Remove kokedama from the water & gently squeeze the moss ball to take out excess water as much as you could (IMPORTANT STEP TO PREVENT MOLD). Over the time, you will be able to know when your kokedama needs to be soaked from its weight (soak when it is light and feels dry).

MISTING (BETWEEN SOAKING):
You are also welcome to mist the moss LIGHTLY to keep it green every other day depending on your indoor environment.

TIPS:
Remove any dead or diseased foliage to keep the plant healthy. You are welcome to prune it to keep it small (same concept as bonsai).
If roots start to show through, its time to re-plant it into a container or in the ground.

IMPORTANT:
If it is native, you can either plant it into a bigger container and place it outside OR plant it in the ground as part of your backyard in partial to full-shade area.
If it’s an indoor/tropical/non-native, please keep it indoor.
