Kokedama is a type of original miniature Japanese garden. You do not need any planter or container for growing small outdoor or indoor plants. The roots of the plants are placed in a ball-shaped multi-layered natural pot, made of soil and moss.
Making kokedama moss balls
All you need is a mix of about 7 parts peat and 3 parts of soil, green moss, cotton thread and patience. Slowly add a bit of water to the soil mix and sculpture a small ball. It is important to mix the soil blend well, and make a clay. If the consistency of the clay is too loose, it will break when it’s watered.
