I planted the plant about 3-4 years ago and have cared for it ever since, pruning it and adjusting its exposure to the sun.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"477\" data-end=\"659\">The small container and the way the plant is grown allow for maintaining the miniature effect \u2013 the crassula grows slower and maintains the proportions typical of kusamono for a long time.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"661\" data-end=\"841\">In spring and summer, the leaves turn shades of red and orange, especially in good sunlight. In winter, the colors are more muted and green.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"843\" data-end=\"1062\">The simple, austere form of the concrete organizes the composition and provides a neutral backdrop for the plant. The surface is complemented by pebbles collected from the So\u010da River in Slovenia \u2013 a personal yet functional element that stabilizes the whole.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1064\" data-end=\"1307\">Despite its small size, this work is a work of art created over time. Its value stems from the plant&#039;s several years of growth in this form, the handcrafted vessel, and the regular work with the plant, rather than from a one-time assembly of elements.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"2063\" data-end=\"2066\" \/>\n<p>PLANT<br \/>Crassula capitella (crassula)<br data-start=\"1693\" data-end=\"1696\" \/>a succulent with a compact, partially hanging shape, turning red-orange in good sunlight<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1818\" data-end=\"1821\" \/>\n<p>MATERIALS AND PERFORMANCE<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1849\" data-end=\"2061\">\n<li data-start=\"1849\" data-end=\"1902\">a living plant kept in this form for about 3-4 years<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1903\" data-end=\"1952\">hand-made concrete vessel<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"1953\" data-end=\"2008\">natural pebbles collected on the So\u010da River<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2009\" data-end=\"2061\">a nutritious soil mixture prepared by me<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr data-start=\"2063\" data-end=\"2066\" \/>\n<p>DIMENSIONS<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2104\" data-end=\"2191\">\n<li data-start=\"2104\" data-end=\"2131\">vessel diameter: 9 cm<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2132\" data-end=\"2160\">total height: 11 cm<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2161\" data-end=\"2191\">composition width: 14cm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr data-start=\"2193\" data-end=\"2196\" \/>\n<p data-start=\"2198\" data-end=\"2213\">CARE<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2214\" data-end=\"2417\">Kusamono is best placed in a bright spot with good access to sunlight. Crassula capitella tolerates periodic dryness well \u2013 watering should be done moderately, after the soil has dried out.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2419\" data-end=\"2585\">The plant is planted in a nutritious soil mixture, so fertilization is applied sparingly and in accordance with the succulents&#039; needs, especially during the growth period.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"2587\" data-end=\"2590\" \/>\n<p>PACKING AND SHIPPING<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"83\" data-end=\"310\">Kusamono is carefully protected for transport in ecological cardboard, with a matching insert to stabilize the plant and the vessel. The packaging is simple, aesthetically pleasing, and suitable for gift-giving.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"312\" data-end=\"540\">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.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"featured_media":9838,"template":"","meta":{"_eb_attr":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[200],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-9782","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-kokedama-i-kusamono","product_shipping_class-kokedama","first","outofstock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/joannakomorowska.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/9782","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/joannakomorowska.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/joannakomorowska.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/joannakomorowska.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9838"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/joannakomorowska.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9782"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/joannakomorowska.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=9782"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/joannakomorowska.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=9782"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/joannakomorowska.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=9782"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
