Kokedama with Succulents

Kokedama in Japanese means moss ball.  A form of bonsai, the succulents are placed in a special soil mixture then covered with moss recycled from my neighbors garden and wrapped with twine.

DO NOT water these once a week like house plants or you will rot the roots.  The plant tells you when it needs to be watered based on how "light in weight & dense the 'ball' of the kokedama.  When it is very light (approximately 2 - 2.5 weeks for succulents and 4 weeks for cacti), submerge the entire kokedama including the plant, in water for 15-20 minutes then squeeze out the excess water.

​

So versatile, they can be hung with fishing line for a floating garden look, set in an antique tea cup, on a plate with black river rocks or displayed in a special ceramic kokedama holder I display and sell in my booth.
