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 heavy and saturated, gently squeeze it to remove excess water and let it drip dry before placing it back on the included tray.
Yes, this succulent thrives in bright, indirect light. Placing it in a sunny spot will help maintain its compact shape and encourage the development of the signature red edges on its leaves.
As a drought-tolerant succulent, the Kalanchoe Flap Jack prefers to dry out between waterings. Typically, you will only need to soak the moss ball every two to three weeks, depending on the humidity and temperature of your home.
The moss is a living component of the Kokedama and may naturally shift in color over time depending on your home's environment. To keep it looking fresh, ensure the plant receives adequate light and avoid letting the moss ball dry out completely for extended periods.
Kalanchoe species are generally considered toxic if ingested by cats or dogs. It is best to keep this plant on a high shelf or in a room inaccessible to curious pets.
