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.
Sophora (known in Czech as Jerlín ) is an interesting type of tree with twisted branches. Sophora prostate 'Little Baby' is a cultivar of smaller stature. It is a shrub with almost bare twigs on which small compound leaves grow alternately. Sophora comes from New Zealand and blooms with beautiful yellow flowers at the beginning of summer. It is popular for its unusual, twisted and delicate appearance.

We wrote more about kokedamas in our article.
The plant thrives best in a bright location where it will have enough light.
We never let the substrate dry completely. In winter, on the other hand, we limit watering.
The plant likes dry air and therefore does not require an increase in air humidity (we do not sow the plant).
Stem cuttings that root in water or soil.
- Overwatering: Too much water can cause root rot, yellowing and leaf drop.
- Stress and changes in conditions: The plant can react to a change in conditions (e.g. habitat but also to a draft) by drooping or dropping leaves (it can give the impression that it lacks water - don't be fooled!). However, after getting used to the new conditions, new ones will sprout.
