Not only does this technique add a natural touch to any space, but it&#039;s also a great option for those looking to decorate sustainably. In this article, you&#039;ll learn all about kokedamas, from keto soil to the materials needed and the best plants to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What is keto earth and why is it essential?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Keto soil is a type of nutrient-rich clay substrate used in the production of kokedamas. Its main characteristic is its ability to retain water and maintain the cohesion necessary to shape the soil ball. You can find keto soil in specialized gardening stores or prepare it by mixing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>70% clay (you can use bentonite or red clay).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>30% of organic substrate such as peat or compost.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This combination ensures that the plant has adequate support and a good moisture balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Materials needed to make kokedamas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Before you begin, gather the following materials:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Keto land<\/strong> (prepared or purchased).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dry or fresh moss (sphagnum moss is ideal).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cotton thread or florist wire (green or brown to blend in with the moss).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pruning shears.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gloves for handling clay and moss.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A container with water to moisten the materials.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Step by step to make a kokedama<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Prepare the soil mixture:<\/strong> If you use homemade keto soil, mix the ingredients and add water little by little until you obtain a malleable texture similar to plasticine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Forming the earth ball:<\/strong> Mold the soil into a ball the size of an orange or larger, depending on the size of the plant.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Making the hole for the plant:<\/strong> Use your fingers to create a space in the soil ball where you will place the plant&#039;s roots.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Placing the plant:<\/strong> Remove the plant from its original pot, gently shake off excess soil from the roots, and place it inside the soil ball.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cover with moss:<\/strong> Moisten the moss and wrap it around the soil ball until it is completely covered.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Secure with thread or wire:<\/strong> Use cotton thread or wire to secure the moss to the ball. Make several turns, making sure not to damage the plant.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The best plants for kokedamas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all plants are suitable for kokedamas. Below is a list of the most recommended ones:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Hardy indoor plants:<\/strong> Pothos, ferns, phytonias, dracaenas.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Shade plants:<\/strong> Staghorn fern, calatheas, peperomias.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Succulent plants:<\/strong> Jade, echeverias (for experts, as they require less humidity).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Plants with small flowers:<\/strong> African violets or begonias.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Basic care for your kokedamas<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To make your kokedamas last a long time, follow these tips:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Irrigation:<\/strong> Soak the moss ball in water for 5-10 minutes every time you notice it is dry. Let the excess water drip off before placing it back in place.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Light:<\/strong> Place the kokedamas in a place with indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent the moss from drying out.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Humidity:<\/strong> Mist the moss with water regularly, especially in dry climates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pruning:<\/strong> Remove dry or damaged leaves to keep the plant healthy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Kokedamas are a perfect option to decorate your home with a natural and minimalist touch. With a little practice and the right materials, you can create your own kokedamas and enjoy their unique beauty. Go ahead and try this Japanese technique and fill your space with life and harmony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any further questions or would like to share your creations, leave us a comment!<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Originating in Japan, kokedamas are an artistic and minimalist way of growing plants without pots, using a ball of soil covered in moss.
