      I have mine in kokedama balls. How do you water yours when they are mounted. I soak mine in water about every 10 to 14 days.

      right now, it’s once a week during winter. the room they’re in has a humidifier, but the ambient is always around 60% so they dry a little faster than i’d like but i’ve got hopes they take successfully.

      But I mean do you soak the whole board?

    How did you mount it? I bought mind already mounted but the wood is starting to rot from soaking and I think it’ll need to be redone soon.

      i’ve read that you don’t want to remove the board it’s already on if mounted. you just want to mount that board to another board, and the fern will continue to grow onto that new one. all i did was soak the moss, then tie it all together with some fishing line and voilà!

    And do you guys know what to do when the ball gets too big. Like will the roots pop out or something.
