We present our exclusive Mix for European Kokedama, a unique combination of Sakura Terra, blonde peat, and expanded perlite, designed for you to create your own kokedama at home. Although the process of making a kokedama can be a challenge, the result is a living work of art and a unique decorative element for your home or office.
Main Features:
Sakura Terra: Our crushed expanded clay, an eco-friendly substitute for akadama, provides excellent water retention and porous structure.
Blonde Peat: Used instead of sphagnum moss peat, it improves moisture retention and provides an aerated base.
Perlite: Added to optimize aeration and drainage, essential for the health of the plant's roots.
How to Make Your Kokedama:
Preparation: Mix the Mix for European Kokedama with water until you achieve a moldable consistency. It should be moist but not soaked.
Forming the Ball: Take an adequate amount of the mix and form a compact ball with your hands. This step requires patience and delicacy to ensure that the mix does not crumble.
Planting: Make a hole in the ball and carefully place the roots of your chosen plant inside. Then, close the ball around the roots.
Moss Cover: Wrap the ball with live moss, securing it with thread or string firmly but carefully.
Tips and Warnings:
Patience and Practice: Making a kokedama requires patience and practice. Don't be discouraged if your first kokedama is not perfect.
Get Your Hands Dirty: Be prepared to get your hands dirty. Creating a kokedama is a manual process and can be a bit messy.
Aftercare: Once made, soak your kokedama in water when the moss feels dry to the touch and place it in a spot with indirect light.
