If you use a pot like that one on ebay, I really would suggest the hole-in-the-middle method, the moss ball should look something like this on the inside:





Here's an easy way to get the same result basically:



While the hole in the middle isn't absolutely necessary as long as you control the watering and density of the moss well, it goes a long way to help preventing overwatering and root rot, especially when using non-porous pots.

Hahaha wow! I'm trying to find cheap ones but they're all so intricate and cost an arm and a leg - too much for a newbie who may kill these babies. LOL I should have picked some up in Japan when I was there - I wonder what the word for it is in Japanese... kicking myself now!

Yes! I'm definitely planning to do the hole in the middle method! Thank you for the images as well <3
