I made the kokedama a few weeks ago, so I'm confident the plant has taken root and is growing steadily. The Birkin philodendron produces compact leaves with distinctive light veining that becomes increasingly more visible over time.
The ball was covered with natural moss and placed on a concrete base I crafted. The light concrete contrasts with the dark green leaves and highlights the kokedama's structure.

CARE
It is best to place kokedama in a bright place with access to diffused light.
Watering involves periodically soaking the ball in water for about 10-15 minutes and draining off excess moisture. In most interiors, watering once a week is sufficient, although the frequency should be adjusted depending on the temperature and humidity.
The soil mix I used is nutritious, so fertilization isn't necessary for extended periods. If necessary, fertilization can be introduced gradually, observing the plant's response.
The philodendron will continue to grow and sprout new leaves over time. If the ball starts to get too small or the roots start to outgrow it, you can contact me – I can enlarge it or suggest how to do it yourself.
PACKING AND SHIPPING
The kokedama is carefully protected for transport in an eco-friendly cardboard packaging, with matching filling to stabilize the plant and base.
Shipping is dependent on weather conditions. In extremely cold or hot weather, shipping may be delayed or postponed. In such cases, I will contact the buyer to arrange a safe delivery date.
Kokedama is a living plant arrangement. I only ship healthy and well-rooted plants, but their continued development depends on the indoor conditions and subsequent care.
