The Christmas Cactus is by far one of the most popular houseplants that have been around for ages. Many a grandmother has one somewhere in their home, blooming bright and beautiful.

Schlumbergera received their iconic name from the season they bloom in, in the Northern Hemisphere adding to the festive joys, however for us you can expect this beauty to bloom in Spring, adding to the Jewel-like wonders this season has to offer us!

For most of the year, this wonderful cactus will grow and display fabulously serrated and segmented green foliage, that will trail down, as in Nature these fabulous plants grow in the nooks and crannies of trees, where they allow their flowers to hang pendantly for pollinators. The flowers of a Christmas Cactus can be red, pink, yellow, orange, white or purple....

Hand-tied in the classic Japanese Kokedama technique our Mossballs are made with water retaining coconut peat mixture and real moss, keeping the roots of the plants moist. 

Dimensions: Approx 15-20cm high, Ball Ø approx 25cm 

DISPLAY & INSTALLATION
Mossballs can be installed in two ways: Suspended or Standing.

Suspended
All of our Mossballs come with free extra cord and a carabiner.
Install a U-Shaped hook, attach the cord with carabiner, and simply clip in your mossball.

Standing
For a standing installation, simply place your Mossball within a presentation-dish on whichever surface you like. 

Top Tip: Try a Japanese-inspired Mossball Installation by hanging 3 or more Mossballs, at different heights. Use the same Mossball variety to create a statement, or mix them up for a more motley effect.
