Time: 10 minutes and 55 seconds | Season: All Year round
Step into the realm of living art with our Kokedama tutorial. This ancient Japanese technique, which translates to “moss ball”, is a form of garden art that’s both sustainable and stylish. Using an ivy plant, we’ll teach you how to encase the roots in moss and soil, creating a stunning natural piece that floats in the air, defying the traditional pot.
Top Tips:
- Keep your Kokedama moist, not drenched.
- Use a mix of peat soil and akadama for the best results.
- Select a shady spot for your ivy Kokedama to thrive.
