What is a Kokedama?
Kokedama is a centuries-old Japanese form of garden art that is closely tied to the practice of bonsai. This Japanese term can be translated like this: “Koke” means moss, and “dama” means ball. Kokedama involves using a moss ball as the supporting and the focal point for a tree, shrub, or plant. In other words, it consists of wrapping the plant’s roots in a ball of soil which you then cover with moss. The moss ball is either fixed to a platform, like a dish or a bowl, or suspended in the air with a string.

Caring for your Kokedama
Pay attention if your Kokedama becomes lighter because this is a sign that it is drying out. In this case, you need to give your moss ball a drink.
Take your Kokedama and soak it in water and allow it to absorb as much water as it can until it becomes heavy. Next, allow the excess water that has been absorbed to drip for a few minutes before you hang your Kokedama back. It’s recommended to give your Kokedama a drink at least once or twice every week.
