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

  • Pet-friendly: May include maranta, calathea, or other non-toxic plants

  • Fern: One of our beautiful fern varieties

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.

✨ Already Have a Plant?


We also offer a Kokedama Base Kit – perfect if you already have a plant at home. It comes with all components (moss, soil, thread, guide) but without a plant.

  • Small Base Kit: Ideal for plants in up to 9cm nursery pots or with smaller root systems

  • Medium Base Kit: Ideal for plants in up to 12cm nursery pots or with larger roots

Optional Tools (not included):
You may wish to add:

  • Jute string (for hanging or decoration)

  • Scissors

  • Decorative dish or macramé hanger

Our moss is packed in reusable zip bags to retain moisture and freshness. These are ideal for propagation, seed germination, or botanical crafts.

  • Authentic Photos of Our Plants: We take every photo you see, showcasing the actual plants we offer. Each plant is selected randomly unless otherwise stated, adding a touch of surprise to your order.
  • Natural Variations Make Each Plant Unique: No two plants are the same. Differences in size, leaf count, and minor cosmetic imperfections are part of their charm and individuality, making your plant truly one of a kind.
  • Healthy Plants, Always: While we can’t guarantee an exact match to the photos, we promise to send only happy, healthy plants that are well-cared for and ready to thrive in your space.
  • Let Your Plant Settle: Allow your new plant to adjust to its surroundings for 1–2 weeks before repotting, propagating, or making any major changes. This settling-in period reduces stress and helps your plant flourish.
  • Shipped-in Trusted Potting Mix: Our plants are delivered in a standard grower’s potting mix. When you’re ready to repot, choose from our premium-quality mixes designed specifically for aroids, succulents, and terrariums, available in our shop.
  • Expert Guidance on Repotting: I’m unsure if it’s time to repot. Check out our article, When to Repot Your Plant, for expert advice on keeping your plant healthy and happy.
  • Support for Climbing Plants: For Monstera, Philodendron, and Syngonium, add one of our handmade sphagnum moss poles and a watering drip cup. These accessories encourage natural growth, support larger leaves, and keep your plants neat and upright.
  • Simple Care at Your Fingertips: Every plant includes plant care instructions, and you can scan the QR code on the nursery pot to access detailed guides. For additional help, our Moss Bot is available 24/7 on the website to answer your plant care questions.
  • Complete Your Plant Setup: Browse our selection of stylish planters, precision pruning tools, watering tools, full spectrum grow lights, eco-friendly pest treatments, organic plant food, and efficient watering accessories. Everything you need for a thriving plant collection is just a click away.
    Sustainably Packed with Care: Your plant will arrive safely, packed with reused and environmentally friendly materials. While we take great care to prevent damage, some fragile plants may experience minor leaf loss during transit—but don’t worry, your healthy plants will grow back.
