VivaTerra Ficus Ginseng Kokedama

Kokedama is a traditional Japanese planting style where the plant's root system is wrapped in moss and soil, forming a ball rather than being placed in a traditional pot. It functions as a living sculpture that can be displayed on a tray or decorative surface.

Because there is no pot, the best method is to submerge the moss ball in a bowl of water for about 10 to 15 minutes, or until it feels heavy and saturated. Allow it to drain thoroughly before placing it back on your display surface to prevent water from pooling.

No, this plant is not pet-safe. Ficus species can be toxic to cats and dogs if ingested, so it is best to keep this display out of reach of curious pets.

This Ficus Ginseng prefers bright, indirect light. While it can handle some direct sun, avoid harsh, prolonged exposure, which can scorch the leaves.

Watering frequency depends on your home's humidity and temperature, but generally, you should water when the moss ball feels light and the soil feels slightly dry to the touch. It is better to check the weight of the ball regularly rather than sticking to a strict calendar schedule.

The moss may turn brown over time if the humidity is too low or if it dries out completely. You can mist the moss ball occasionally to keep it green, and if the moss eventually degrades, the plant can be re-wrapped or placed in a container.
