Appearing in Japan in the 1990s, "koke" means moss & "dama" a ball, a sphere but also something precious. It consists of a sphere of moss filled with nutritious clay substrate, on which rests a plant here a pretty braided ficus.

It requires relatively little maintenance, just bathe the sphere halfway in a large container of water for 5-10 minutes 1 to 2 times a week depending on the season. Let it soak then drain for a few minutes.

It can be hung high up, or placed on a decorative object and can live for many years if it is well maintained. The kokedama will bring an exotic, zen, relaxing and obviously green touch to your interior. For the Japanese, growing a kokedama and hanging it upwards is like freeing oneself from gravity and rising towards divine dimensions of love and peace.
