Add Living Greenery to Your Space with Kokedama Moss Ball Plants
Bring the beauty of living art into your home with Kokedama Moss Ball Plants. Each succulent is carefully cultivated using the centuries-old Japanese technique of kokedama, where the plant’s roots are wrapped in a sphere of soil and vibrant green moss instead of a traditional pot. Display these charming moss balls on the included clay saucer or hang them with twine to create a striking, eco-friendly focal point. Perfect for desktops, shelves, or hanging displays, these moss balls add a refreshing touch of green to any indoor space.
Lovingly grown by Chris Mower in St. Louis, Missouri, these easy-care succulents thrive in partial shade. Their compact form makes them an ideal gift or decorative accent for anyone looking to bring natural elegance indoors.
Unique Craftsmanship and Easy Care
The Kokedama Moss Ball Plants combine horticultural expertise with artistic presentation. Chris Mower hand-wraps each succulent’s root system in moss, soil, and string, creating a visually stunning piece that’s both functional and decorative. This technique, once called “poor man’s bonsai,” has evolved into a playful, modern take on traditional bonsai aesthetics.
