Kokedama DIY Kit – Create Your Own Moss Ball Art

What is Kokedama?

Kokedama, meaning moss ball in Japanese, is a beautiful form of botanical art where a plant’s roots are wrapped in a nutrient-rich soil mix, then encased in moss. Displayed hanging or on a tray, kokedama are a striking and minimalist way to showcase your plants – perfect for home, office, or gifting.

Why Choose Our Kit?

Unlike other kits, we use the highest quality, sustainably sourced moss, hand-harvested in Scotland. Our moss has featured in RHS Chelsea Flower Show and major UK garden displays. Each kit is handcrafted at Highland Moss and includes our own kokedama soil mix, carefully balanced to nourish your plant and hold moisture without becoming waterlogged.

🌿 What’s Inside the Kit:

• Fresh Scottish sheet moss (carpet, feather, or fern moss depending on seasonal availability)

• Handmade kokedama peat free soil blend

• Nylon thread for wrapping

• Full-colour, hand-illustrated step-by-step instructions and care guide

• Leaflet showing what’s included

• 1 x plant (choose small or medium option – selected from best available stock)

🪴 Plant Options:

You can choose between small or medium plants:

• Small plants: in up to 9cm nursery pots

• Medium plants: in up to 12cm nursery pots

We offer three curated options:

• Air-purifying: May include spider plant, parlour palm, or philodendron

If you’re looking for something specific, feel free to leave a note at checkout. While we can’t guarantee a particular species, we’ll do our best to accommodate your request.
