Kokedama: A Japanese tradition, they are bowls made with moss on which the plant grows.
Kokodama: Our Kokodamas are based on the Japanese tradition but made with coconut fibre, hence the slight variation on their name!

Zebra Basket Vine Plant Care Tips
- Place your Zebra Basket Vine in a humid area with bright indirect sunlight and temperatures above 13ºC.
- Let the top 2 inches of the soil dry out between waterings and mist it often to give it the extra hydration it needs.
- Make sure to remove the plant from your Kokodama before watering and place it back once the water is not dripping from the growing pot.
- Feed it once every 2 months during the growing season for an extra boost.
- This Aeschynanthus doesn’t need regular repotting but if you notice the roots 'circling' around the growing pot, it’s best to increase the pot size by just a few centimetres.
- If the stems get too long, trim it back by a few inches with a clean blade.
