Hoya Kokedama

To make our Hoya Kokedama, we bind the roots of our favorite Hoya plants in bright green sphagnum moss. Hoyas, sometimes nicknamed Wax Plants, are semi-succulent vining plants beloved for their cascading foliage and the clusters of sweet-smelling, star-shaped flowers that emerge on mature plants. 

Simply translated, kokedama means "moss ball," and these pieces are our take on the traditional Japanese bonsai practice of the same name. Sometimes called string gardens, each piece can sit in a shallow dish or hang with the attached fishing line loop, making them lovely additions to any window or tabletop.

PLANT CARE

• Light: Bright, indirect light
• Water: When soil at base of plant feels barely moist, submerge entire moss ball in room temperature water until fully saturated
• Considerations: Hoyas will show you when they're thirsty – water when the leaves start to pucker

WHAT TO EXPECT

We'll make your Hoya Kokedama to order, choosing from our diverse collection of Hoya species (such as H. carnosa, H. pubicalyx and H. 'Krimson Princess'). No two pieces are alike, and yours will have its own unique shape, size and personality - expect this natural variation from the photos, and feel free to include any preferences with your order. Dish sold separately.

Moss ball measure approximately 5" - 6" in diameter.
