You’ve probably come across this unique looking plant at some point scrolling through the Pinterest. “Koke” translates to moss in Japanese while “dama” means ball. This style of Japanese Bonsai is becoming widely popular for its intricate planting style and its versatility.
You can keep one on your desk or even hang it from the wall! It doesn’t need much tending to as it only drinks water every three to five days. Whether you possess a green thumb or are a low-maintenance plant lover, a Kokedama is a lovely addition to your plant collection.
The Minimalist Plant
The Japanese culture is known for their intricate designs and minimalist style, thus the Kokedama was created to be as low maintenance as possible. Suspended Kokedamas can help to increase space and fit nicely in any area of your house.
What’s it Made Of?
The base of the plant is a mix of bonsai soil, peat moss, and clay that’s rolled into a ball. A hole is dug into the middle where the plant and its roots are tucked inside. The outer layer is then held together by twine or hemp wire.
