African Violet Kokedama inan approximately 5-inch moss-covered ball. Kokedama is around 11-inches wide and 6-inches tall. The display plate and pashka are not included.
CARE: African Violets have a variable bloom times and produce flowers in colours that include blue, pink, purple, red and white. Becoming slightly root-bound encourages them to bloom. They enjoy lower light, but medium to bright indirect light is best. Sparse, dark green leaves and leggy stems tell you that the plant is getting too little light; light green or bleached leaves indicate too much light. Air temperature of 18°C+ is preferred and keep away from drafts. They are highly sensitive to temperature changes, especially rapid leaf cooling. The kokedama substrate mix is rich and well draining to allows for high air exposure. Immerse the kokedama in room temperature water for about 10-15 minutes when it becomes lightweight. Avoid getting water on the leaves as it causes discoloration and cold water will damage them. Leaves are subject to rot if room humidity is high. Dust dirt off the leaves with a small, soft brush. Fertilize every 2 weeks with a high phosphorous plant food, but only during the active growing season (spring and summer). Only start to fertilize when the plant appears to need an extra boost. Over-fertilizing is a more common problem than under-fertilizing.
