Perhaps best to leave Spekboom to its ornamental qualities, by introducing it into a bright-light spot within your home. It will reward you with a beautiful evergreen display all year round.
Please note: There are different varieties of Spekboom and the one which we will send to you may differ from the ones pictured here.
Dimensions
Approx 15-20cm high, Ball Ø approx 25cm
DISPLAY & INSTALLATION
Mossballs can be installed in two ways:
Suspend
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.
