KOKEDAMA
Kokedama (moss ball) is a Japanese art form of living sculpture suspended in air. Very similar to bonsai, the plant and roots of a Kokedama are contained in a small space.
Its form and preparation represents the Japanese wabi-sabi aesthetic principles, defined as one of beauty that is “imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete.”

KOKEDAMA CARE INSTRUCTIONS
One of the reasons I love to teach people how to make Kokedama string gardens is that caring for them is easy for even the most novice gardener. I include instructions for care with every Kokedama made in my workshops and those that are displayed at all my storefront show rooms.
​
See below for basic care instructions for your Kokedama, please note instructions may vary based on the type of plant used for each Kokedama.
​
1. Hang your kokedama in bright, indirect light
.
2. Soak your Kokedama once a week or when it feels light and dry.
Submerge moss ball in bowl or bucket of water for 5 minutes.
​
3. Let it drip excess water and return it to its post.
​
That's it! Easy Right?
​
Of course some of the care instructions change based on the type of plants you choose to incorporate in your work of art. However, at Cat-Hawk Gardens we always encourage participants to use drought tolerant succulents or ferns.

See you in the garden!
