Know before you buy
Kokedama is a traditional Japanese art form where a plant's root system is wrapped in moss and bound with twine, creating a sculptural, soil-based ball instead of using a traditional pot.
To water your Kokedama, submerge the moss ball in a bowl of room-temperature water for about 10 to 15 minutes until it feels heavy and saturated. Allow it to drain thoroughly before placing it back onto the included decorative tray.
Yes, the Rubber Tree Tineke needs bright, indirect light to maintain its signature pink, green, and cream variegation. If the light is too low, the leaves may lose their color and revert to a solid green.
No, this plant is not pet-safe. It is toxic if ingested, so it should be placed in an area that is inaccessible to cats, dogs, or other curious household animals.
The watering frequency is moderate, but it depends on your home's humidity and temperature. Check the moss ball regularly; if it feels dry and light to the touch, it is time for a soak.
This plant prefers a stable environment with temperatures between 60º and 80ºF and medium humidity. Avoid placing it near drafty windows, air conditioning vents, or direct heat sources.
