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, or until it feels heavy and saturated. Gently squeeze the ball to remove excess water before placing it back on its display surface.
While the Bird's Nest Fern is adaptable, it appreciates a humid environment. If your home is particularly dry, you can mist the fronds occasionally or place it in a bathroom with natural light to mimic its tropical origins.
It is best to avoid harsh, direct sunlight, which can scorch the delicate fronds. This fern prefers bright, indirect light or filtered shade, making it perfect for a spot near a north or east-facing window.
The best way to tell is by the weight of the moss ball. When the kokedama feels significantly lighter than usual and the moss appears dry to the touch, it is time for a soak.
The kokedama is secured with nylon thread to maintain its structure. With proper handling and regular watering, the moss ball will remain intact and continue to support the fern's growth for a long time.
