Watering a Kokedama requires some care to ensure the moss and plants thrive. Here's a step-by-step guide:
Watering Frequency
1. Check the moisture: Gently touch the surface of the Kokedama. If it feels dry, it's time to water.
2. Watering schedule: Water your Kokedama when the surface feels dry to the touch, usually every 1-2 weeks in summer and less often in winter.
Watering Technique
1. Soak the Kokedama: Submerge the Kokedama in a bowl of water for 10-15 minutes to allow the moss and soil to absorb water.
2. Drain excess water: Gently lift the Kokedama out of the water and let it drain excess water. You can use a wire rack or a tray to help with drainage.
3. Return to its place: Once drained, return the Kokedama to its original position, making sure it's not too wet or waterlogged.
Additional Tips
1. Use room-temperature water: Avoid using cold or hot water, as this can shock the roots.
2. Avoid getting water on the leaves: Try to water the soil and moss rather than the leaves to prevent fungal diseases.
3. Monitor humidity: Kokedamas prefer a humid environment, typically between 40-60% relative humidity.
By following these steps, you'll be able to keep your Kokedama happy and thriving.
