Bring the beauty of Japanese plant art into your home with our Scottish Handmade Orchid Kokedama Japanese Moss Ball. Each one is carefully handmade in Scotland using sustainably sourced Scottish sphagnum moss, creating a breathable, natural base for your orchid to thrive.
This traditional Japanese method, inspired by bonsai techniques, replaces standard plant pots with a living moss ball—perfect for displaying orchids in a stylish, eco-conscious way.
Whether you’re looking for a meaningful gift or a striking plant feature for your own space, our Orchid Kokedama is a timeless and sustainable choice.
🪴 What’s Included:
-
1 x Handmade Orchid Kokedama
-
Illustrated care instructions by local artists
-
Optional extras: natural jute string, display stand, misting spray bottle, trimming scissors
Your Kokedama can be displayed in a variety of ways to suit your style. It can sit on a decorative dish or bowl, adding a grounded, sculptural element to any surface. Alternatively, it can be suspended using clear fishing wire for a floating effect, or hung with natural jute string for a more rustic, earthy look. Whether sitting or hanging, it’s a beautiful way to showcase your orchid.
🌸 What Is Kokedama?
Kokedama (苔玉) means “moss ball” in Japanese and comes from traditional bonsai practice. Instead of planting in a pot, the roots are wrapped in moss, forming a sculptural, minimalist display. It’s a beautiful way to connect with plants and bring calm to your space.
🌱 How to Care for Your Orchid Kokedama:
-
Soak the moss ball in water when it feels light or dry
-
Mist regularly to maintain humidity, especially in dry rooms
-
Keep in bright, indirect light
-
Trim back faded flowers to encourage fresh blooms
-
Avoid placing near cold draughts or intense heat
🛠️ Troubleshooting Tips:
-
Dry moss? Mist more often or soak as needed
-
Moss turning brown? You may be overwatering—cut back slightly
-
Orchid not blooming? It might be resting—give it time, light, and stable care

- How often should I water my Orchid Kokedama?
- To keep your kokedama healthy, soak the moss ball in water whenever it feels light or dry to the touch. This typically translates to a thorough soaking approximately once a week, but adjust frequency based on the humidity and temperature of your room.
- Can the Orchid Kokedama be displayed in a terrarium?
- While the Orchid Kokedama is not suitable for enclosed terrariums due to its need for air circulation, it can be beautifully displayed in open terrarium-style settings or simply placed on a dish or suspended for a natural aesthetic appeal.
- Is the Orchid Kokedama suitable for beginners in plant care?
- Yes, the Orchid Kokedama is an excellent choice for beginners. It comes with illustrated care instructions and requires minimal maintenance, mainly involving watering and occasional misting, making it an easy-to-care-for addition to any space.
