For us, it proved difficult to find or expensive to buy. Akadama, or bonsai soil, is clay-like and it holds moisture longer, therefore it's ideal for a plant with no pot, or little soil. Originally, kokedamas are made with akadama soil. We do promise to do so, though, as soon as the plants are back to health. Therefore, we have no picture of those to share with you at the moment. But when a big-bad-wolf of a hail storm in the size of hazelnuts came down, it battered and shredded the poor plants.

The plan was to make an outdoor hanging kokedama installation above our garden table.

They are very easy to make! Actually, they are so easy to make that we made a few. They maximize the surface of greenery by replacing the traditional pot, with a living, breathing substitute to hold the roots of the plant, namely moss. Just like bonsais, whether displayed in isolation or grouped together, Kokedamas offer a wow effect and at the same time a calmness to the room, with their shape, simplicity and beauty. If not displayed on a beautiful tray or plate, they can be hanged from the ceiling and save you tons of space.ī.
