Katstert Micro Mossball

Scientific Name: Asparagus densiflorus - meyersii 

This evergreen South African fern gets its name from its full and furry fronds which look like the tail of a cat (Katsterts). 

Extremely versatile, this plant will be happy in full sun or in a shady area and can thus be installed in most environments - from a bathroom to an outside porch. Its naturally drought resistant qualities mean that Katstert will be very forgiving if you skip a watering week.

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 14-16cm high, Ball Ø approx 13cm 

Lead Time: We like to send you the healthiest, freshest Plants, and your mossball is made specifically for you. Kindly note that we can have a lead time of up to 1 week. Trust us, it's worth the wait!

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. Check out our Mossball Collection to see what's in stock.
