Know before you buy
Kokedama is a traditional Japanese art form where the plant's root ball is wrapped in moss and bound with string, rather than being placed in a traditional ceramic pot. This creates a sculptural, minimalist look that allows the plant to be displayed on the included tray or even suspended.
To water your Kokedama, submerge the moss ball in a bowl of water for about 10 to 15 minutes until it feels heavy and saturated. Allow it to drain thoroughly before placing it back on its tray to prevent water from pooling.
No, the Pothos Golden is toxic to cats and dogs if ingested. It is best to keep this plant in a location that is inaccessible to your pets.
Yes, the Pothos Golden is highly adaptable and can tolerate lower light conditions. While it will grow faster and maintain more vibrant gold variegation in bright, indirect light, it remains a reliable choice for dimmer corners of your home.
While the plant arrives as a juvenile, it can eventually reach a mature height of up to 24 inches. Because it has a trailing, vining growth habit, the vines will continue to cascade downward as the plant matures.
The moss ball will naturally dry out over time, which is a normal part of the Kokedama process. You can mist the moss occasionally to keep it looking fresh, but focus primarily on the hydration of the root ball through the soaking method.
