Kokedama Epiphyllum Anguliger

Production of kokedam takes 5-7 days, please expect a slight delay in your order.

Kokedama is a special way of growing plants, literally translated "moss ball", originating from Japan. Kokedama consists of a plant, a special substrate ( black clay ketotsuchi ), other components ( Akadama, zeolite, pumice, sand and peat ) are additionally mixed into the clay. From these materials, a suitable plant is perfectly wrapped in a "ball" and the whole is covered with moss. Traditionally, kokedams are hung on string, macrame or placed on wet pebbles or other material.

Caring for a kokedama

We take care of each kokedama according to the type of plant we have in it. Kokedamu water with boiled/boiled water approximately once a week. Kokedama is bothered by chlorine, we do not recommend water directly from the tap. Just place the kokedama in water for a few minutes, let it drain and hang it up again. You can tell if it needs to be watered by the weight of the kokedama and also by how dry your moss ball is. You can moss ball dew to keep the moss bale still moist. Kokedama is not recommended to be placed in direct sunlight.

About the plant:
Epiphyllum Anguliger, which belongs to the fat family, is also known under the names of fishbone cactus (fishbone cactus - its leaves resemble it) or zig zag cactus (zig zag cactus). However, you can also find it under the nice Czech name Opičí ocásek. This species is commonly grown for its fragrant flowers. They are white or yellow, they bloom especially at night from autumn to winter and they stand out with a strong sweet smell.

This species is endemic and comes from Central America, more precisely southern Mexico. Its stems are 20 to 30 cm long (may be longer), 3 to 5 cm thick, with rounded ends. We can also grow it, for example, in hanging flower pots so that the stems flow down and stand out.
