Guide Teaches How to Make Kokedama Art

September has a special week for plants. It is called National Houseplant Week each year. It is a time to think about plants inside our homes. We can learn about a fun project called kokedama. This can help us add to our plant collections.

Kokedama is a Japanese way to grow plants. It uses a ball of soil covered with moss. It is a simple DIY project for your plants. It can make common plants look like art. They are also good gifts.

Roots in the open soil dry out fast. Plants that do not need much water are good for kokedama. Spider plants are great for this project. You can also use pothos or succulents.

First, put moss in water to soak. Then, take the plant out of its pot. Remove extra soil from the plant's roots. Next, mix soil and water to make a ball.

Cut the ball in half and put it around the plant roots. Wrap the moss around the soil ball. Use thread to hold the moss in place. Water the ball and let it drain. Display it in your house.
