The art of Kokedama literally translates from “koke” meaning moss and “dama” meaning ball. It is a form of Japanese garden art that is centuries old and tied into the practice of bonsai. The Kokedama is the practice of taking the roots of a plant and suspending them in a mud ball, which is then coated with soft green moss. The final result is a living planter as well as a distinctive display piece. They may be fixed to a piece of driftwood or bark, suspended from a string, or nestled in a clear, attractive container. Hanging many Kokedamas is called a string moss garden. Any plant can be grown as a Kokedama and they can be arranged in the most unique ways.

The Kokedama translated to moss ball originated hundreds of-years ago in Japan. It starts with a sturdy metal frame that forms the sphere on which preserved moss is wrapped with an unobtrusive line. This construction keeps the planter's shape enabling the globe form to remain durable. Simply add the appropriate soil mix, the plants and then water. This container provides a moist, low-water growing environment typically suitable for consistent misting.
