Frequently asked questions

Find clear guidance below on maintaining your living art pieces, nurturing plants, and preserving natural coastal driftwood indoors.

How much light do the succulents need indoors?

Most emerging succulents thrive in bright, indirect sunlight for at least four to six hours each day. A spot near an east- or south-facing window is ideal. Avoid harsh, direct afternoon sun, which can scorch tender foliage, as well as deeply shaded corners where plants might stretch toward the light.

How often should I water the living elements?

Succulents prefer a 'soak and dry' rhythm. We recommend using a precision dropper, small squeeze bottle, or gentle mister at the root base every two to three weeks, allowing the moss and planting medium to dry out completely between waterings. Less is always more—succulents store moisture in their leaves and are naturally drought-tolerant.

Does the hanging moss require special maintenance?

Our soft hanging moss is carefully chosen and preserved to complement your living piece. It does not require soil or direct root watering. A very light misting once a month or simply keeping it in normal household humidity will preserve its supple, tactile softness and vibrant color.

What should I do if a succulent outgrows its driftwood mount?

As your piece flourishes, plants can naturally be pruned or propagated. You can gently clip back overgrowth and root the cuttings in fresh soil, or allow the natural cascades to drape along the curves of the wood for a more wild, organic coastal look.

How do I protect and clean the weathered driftwood?

Our driftwood is naturally cured and brushed by California tides and winds. To clean it, simply dust the crevices gently with a dry microfiber cloth or soft-bristled brush. Avoid spraying water, chemical polishes, or harsh household cleaners directly onto the wood surface.

Can I display my living art shelf or light fixture outdoors?

Our illuminated pieces and driftwood shelves are crafted specifically for interior sanctuaries. While they love gentle ambient breezes indoors, direct outdoor weather, heavy rain, and extreme temperature fluctuations can weaken the wood joints and harm the electrical components of illuminated designs.

How do I care for illuminated driftwood lights?

Our integrated low-voltage LED lights generate minimal heat, ensuring your succulents remain comfortable and safe. When watering your plants, take care to keep moisture away from any wiring, switches, or battery compartments. Unplug the fixture before performing any routine plant care.
