Kokedama Beaucarnea

Kokedama with Beaucarnea

KOKEDAMA

It is a plant whose roots are wrapped with a mixture of clay, earth and peat moss.

This bulb is wrapped with moss. Kokezdama means ''moss ball'' in Japanese. 

The technique comes from Japan and dates from the 90s.

How do you maintain your kokedama:

Dip the mossball once a week for about an hour in water (if possible with rainwater) and wring it lightly with both hands or place a dish underneath.

The ball will be wet enough for the week.

If it is very hot, check that the moss ball is not too dry. (You will find that he weighs too lightly)

If necessary, soak twice a week.

Place it in a light place. Try to avoid direct sunlight.

You can purchase the matching support, or place your kokedama on a nice dish.

Beaucarnea (also called Elephant's Foot) is a tropical plant native to Central America.
