Good question. Kokedama literally translates to &#8216;moss ball&#8217; in Japanese, it&#8217;s an alternative way to grow indoor or outdoor plants without a pot.<\/p>\n<p>They are very easy to make with only a few basic supplies, and make fantastic gifts for friends or family. Choose brightly coloured string for a modern vibe, or go for twine if you are after a more natural look. Personalise the Kokedama by adding a little ceramic or metal tag with a special message.<\/p>\n<h2>You will need:<\/h2>\n<ul class=\"list\">\n<li>Bush moss<\/li>\n<li>Plastic craft cord in assorted colours or strong cotton twine<\/li>\n<li>Small pot plant with a compact root system<\/li>\n<li>Scissors<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\/\/ <![CDATA[\namzn_assoc_placement = \"adunit0\"; amzn_assoc_search_bar = \"false\"; amzn_assoc_tracking_id = \"mypoppet-20\"; amzn_assoc_ad_mode = \"manual\"; amzn_assoc_ad_type = \"smart\"; amzn_assoc_marketplace = \"amazon\"; amzn_assoc_region = \"US\"; amzn_assoc_title = \"Need Supplies?\"; amzn_assoc_linkid = \"eff7a5f4d1b4a89119ac33216c1d9d15\"; amzn_assoc_asins = \"B004BFSAZ2,B00I6AJQYC,B00L3DUOKY,B005WCKBQO\";\n\/\/ ]]><\/script><br \/>\n<script src=\"\/\/z-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/onejs?MarketPlace=US\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2>How to Make a Kokedama:<\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-54977\" src=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/kokedama.jpg\" alt=\"How to make a Kokedama Hanging Plant - supplies required\" width=\"690\" height=\"603\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/kokedama.jpg 690w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/kokedama-300x262.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/kokedama-600x524.jpg 600w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/kokedama-330x288.jpg 330w, https:\/\/mypoppet.com.au\/makes\/mp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/kokedama-526x460.jpg 526w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 690px) 100vw, 690px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Gather your supplies.
