I made a floating bonsai above a pottery bowl

That’s super neat. Is it a mess to water?

Yes, for now I spray it two times a day. The moss ball dries up so quickly, of course even more so as it sits freely in the air. So not practical at all, but very nice to look at

Maybe mossball formed around some type of reservoir core with a low permiability? More watering than normal I’m sure but maybe more of a every 2 days scenario.

Also great idea. My idea right now is an infrared thermometer to measure when the surface is dry and then sprinkle it with water when it’s necessary… but that’s a bit overengineered :P

Well, it’s a plant floating in the air. It’s already over-engineered. You might as well go all the way at this point.
