Not Your Average Ball of Dirt

Kokedamas, also known as "moss balls," are a trendy and playful way to display plants in your home. But did you know that the art of kokedama actually has its roots in ancient Japan? The word "kokedama" translates to "moss ball" in Japanese, and the practice of creating them dates back to the Edo period (1603-1868).

 

Originally, kokedamas were used as a way to cultivate plants without the need for pots, as they were often created using leftover soil and other materials. Today, kokedamas are still made in a similar way, but have taken on a more decorative and modern form.

​

If you're looking for a unique and low-maintenance way to add some greenery to your home, kokedamas are a great option. Not only are they easy to make (all you need is soil, moss, and some string), but they also make for a great conversation starter. Plus, the possibilities for customization are endless.

 

You can use any type of plant you want, and even experiment with different colors of moss or string. So why not give kokedamas a try? You might just discover a new hobby (or at the very least, a new way to showcase your love for plants).
