Light Air plants thrive in bright, indirect sunlight. The ideal position is near a window where they can soak up the natural light with out being scorched. Too much direct exposure to the sun can cause black spots on the leaves. Air plant can also survive under artificial lights. They should get at least 4-6 hours of sunlight daily. Water Consistent hydration is key! We recommend fully submerging the plant in a bowl of water for 10-15, every 2 weeks. After the bath, shake off the excess water and turn the plant upside down or on its side to drain for another 10-15 mins. If your environment is particularly dry, consider misting them a few times a week to keep them give them an extra boost. Air plants can survive just on water, but they’ll thrive with a little plant food. I use a general plant food, diluted, in the soaking water, but there is tillandsia specific plant food as well. Fertilizing and consistent watering is the key to seeing your air plants bloom! Temperature Air plants prefer a warm environment, ideally between 50-90 degrees. Avoid placing them in chilly drafts or areas with extreme temperature changes. They’ll thrive in the comfort of your living space. Additional Tips Keep an eye on your air plants. If the leaves start to turn brown or crispy, they may need more water. If they become mushy, they may be overwatered. Like all houseplant, air plant can use a little trim regularly. Crispy and dried leaves should be gently removed from the base.When air plants are happy and healthy, they may surprise you with stunning, colorful flowers! Flowering can occur at any time during the growth season. After blooming, the plant will eventually produce pups, which are little offsets that will grow alongside the mother plant. It’s generally safe to separate the pup from the mother with it is ⅓ to ½ the size of the mother plant, or you can keep them as a cluster. Remember, caring for air plants is not just about keeping them alive- it’s about nurturing a connection with nature.

Light Like most houseplants, Kokedamas prefer bright, indirect sunlight. Position you kokedamas near a window where they can get plenty of light without direct sun. If you notice you plant stretching towards the light, they may need a brighter spot! Water Water your kokedama by placing the moss ball in a bowl of room-temperature water until the entire ball is completely saturated. I like to set the kokedama on the sink after the soaking for a few minutes before returning it to its normal location.Every plant loves a little extra love, so to promote healthy growth considering adding diluted liquid fertilizer to the bowl when soaking. Follow the frequency instructions of the fertilizer you are using. The frequency of watering will depend on the specific type of plant, but usually between every 7-14 days. The most important tip though is to only water the kokedama when it is dry to touch and slightly hard when squeezed. Overwatering a kokedama increases the likelihood of root rot which is a sure fired way to kill a plant. Temperature The ideal temperature for a kokedama will depend on the plant species, but generally they will do well in temperature between 60-75 degrees. If you are comfortable in your home, they most likely will be too Additional Tips Watch for any signs of distress in your kokedama. If the leaves start to yellow, it may be a sign of overwatering. If new leaves are becoming crispy or brown, you may need to water more frequently. Like all houseplants, don’t be hesitant to pruning dying leaves. Use clean, sharp scissors to remove dead or yellowing leaves. This encourages new growth and keeps your plant healthy while also enhancing its overall appearance. As your kokedama grows, it my become root bound. SIgns that it needs to be repotted include slowing growth and the kokedama drying out more frequently. If this happens, carefully cut off the fishing wire and gently remove the moss. You can make it into a new kokedama or plant in a pot. Remember, caring for a kokedama is not just about maintain an unique plant, it’s about creating a living piece of art that reflects your love of nature.
