Know before you buy
To water your kokedama, submerge the moss ball in a bowl of room-temperature water for about 10 to 15 minutes. Once the moss feels saturated and heavy, gently squeeze it to remove excess water and place it back on its patina tray.
No, this plant is not pet-safe. Monstera deliciosa contains insoluble calcium oxalates, which can cause irritation or discomfort if ingested by cats or dogs, so it is best kept out of reach.
This Monstera prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its signature leaf splits. While it can tolerate partial shade, too little light may slow its growth and reduce the development of new fenestrations.
The moss ball is designed to hold moisture and provide structure for the roots. Keep the moss slightly damp to the touch, and if you notice the moss drying out or browning, you can mist it occasionally or increase the frequency of your submersion watering.
This kokedama arrives at approximately 8 to 12 inches in height. While it has an upright growth habit, its size is naturally contained by the kokedama presentation, making it a perfect accent for tabletops or shelves.
