Kokedama is a centuries-old form of Japanese gardening that has gained widespread popularity in the Western world due to its beauty.
Kokedama means “moss ball” in Japanese (Koke=moss; Dama=ball). It is also known as “Poor ɱaп Bonsai” or “String Garden”.
As the word describes it, kokedama is a moss-covered globe in which ornamental plants grow. Learn more about how to build your very own kokedama step by step below.
I didn’t know anything about kokedama until I started researching for my blog “10 Plant Wall Decor Ideas for Your Home” two months ago. I was immediately intrigued and when I found out my local Plant Design Shop was hosting a Kokedama workshop, I signed up immediately!

I love my kokedama and have been experimenting with different settings throughout the house; whether I hang it up or present it on a tray. I find kokedama to be a beautiful, vibrant home decor item that will enhance any room it is placed in. If you follow me on social media you may have seen some of my takes on this.
