Thank you for sharing your technique! Adding the wool fabric is a brilliant idea. I will be sure to add this step from now on. I just started making these a few days ago and found a great tutorial video. But your instructions take the Kokedama process to a higher level! Your Kokedamas are so gorgeous. Peace & Mahalo from O'ahu!
Thank you for sharing
Buongiorno, stupendo lavoro grazie a te! Originale e di grande effetto. Bravissima 👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It´s amazing, I love your Kokedamas, Thank you for teaching your artwork!!!
On my list of things to try! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing our wonderful ideas and inspiration,❤
Thanks Jan...your work is beautiful and I love Kokedama balls.
wow, love it ❤
Wow... your koke collection is a DREAM ✨✨ I'm a Japanese, and I find it really cool that you recreate so many kinds of plants into kokedama - since in Japan, we usually use Japanese-looking plants for kokedama and don't even think of combining a western-looking plant with Japanese aesthetics. I hope this traditional method revives in Japanese homes as well. Btw your orchids are beautiful! I will definitely make one for my own too. Thanks from Japan 🇯🇵💕
Thanks for your wonderful message. I truly enjoy having plants around me and also being creative with them. I hope your creations will bring you much joy.

Why do use wool fabric?
Thank you for sharing.
Hermoslo video y con instrucciones excelentess para realizar las Kokedamas. Soy amante de las kokedams y con su video me ha inspirado mas para seguir haciendolas ademas del poder hacer las con el reciclaje de las bases de madera que le dan un acento especial para cada kokedama.. Muchas gracias por compartir sus conocimientos en este arte.

Beauitful, thanks so much!
You are so welcome! Thank for sharing your thoughts.
Love the video. Thank you so much
Glad you enjoyed it!
Gorgeous. I didn't know you could add fabric. It's way more secure ❤️
Thanks so much. The fabric was something I added to try and keep the moss alive longer. I think it worked but you still need to water them regularly. In the end mine died because I went out of town. 😁. They still are gorgeous and fun to make and to have in your environment. Enjoy.
Gorgeous
Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. ❤️✌🏼🙂
Súper lindos,thanks .🇨🇷🙏🏼

I really love it’s ✨💖💕💕💖
Thanks Rosaline. I appreciate your response. Hope your having a wonderful day.
Hello Jan lakey....tq for sharing....a big concern is hw is your moss sustaining....I mean I'm tierd of trying all the means to make it survive....but invain......pls hlp me out with this....hw to make moss grow in open and closed conditions... 🙏🙏🙏🙏
its good that you have live sheet moss there.. here ots difficult to find!
That was an awesome video probably the best on TH-cam. Thank you for the info.
Do you just spray mist them to water them. Or do you soak them every so often and let the water drain out? Do they ever need transplanted, do the get root bound?
I love them! Love the bowls you crafted too. I have 2 questions. How do you water the ones not in a bowl? Also do plants do well in the enclosed cases you show or only certain types of plants? Those look really nice but I've never enclosed a plant before. Would be great so my cats dont try to eat them! Looks so nice that way too! You're such a great teacher!
Hi Trish
I water mine by placing it in a bowl and then letting it drain before putting it back. You can also mist them everyday which will help keep the moss alive. The enclosed glass vessel is called a cloche. Plants that like high humidity do best like ferns. Succulents don’t do well because they like it dry. Thanks for watching and thanks for your questions. So glad my teaching was clear.
You can use a spray bottle to water for your plants everyday
Очень красиво и грамотно. Интересно, что менялось со временем в кокедамаз у Вас. Как они выглядят теперь? Потому что вначале все выглядит красиво, а потом растениям некоторым кокедамаз может не подойти
Loved these moss series!! thank you so much for sharing and they are such work of art! :) just wondering how do you take care and maintain these kokedama? just light spray daily? Also I would love to make a 'moss wall art', any tips/advice you would be able to share? :)
Yes a light spray daily. Eventually it will died or go dormant in my experience but it’s beautiful while it last. Have fun with it.
Is that a sasuke scisors ?
Also is the moss live?
Hi Jan,
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. They are so beautiful. I was wondering instead of wool to wrap the plants would cotton work? 💚
I never tried cotton. The reason I used wool was for its anti bacterial properties. If you try it let me know how it goes. Thanks 😊
This was beautiful! As the roots are enclosed in wool, when do you know that the plant needs to be placed into a bigger moss ball? Do the roots show through at that stage? Thank you so much.
Hi Julian
Thanks for the wonderful comment. It is much the same as a potted plant. When you transplant a plant to a bigger pot it’s because the plant has grown so much it out grows it’s container. However I am not certain because I did not keep any of my moss balls that long to find out. The hardest part is keeping the moss alive. You need to keep them moist.
SIMPLY AWESOME AND
FABULOUS🌱✨

Olá, trabalho lindo o seu,e eu comecei esses dias a fazer kokedama,e qual o nome desse tecido que vc usa,grata
Hi Jan, loved this video, please make more! Is it possible to make kokedamas with any type of plant including succulents?
Hi Adi, Thanks so much for your kind feedback and encouragement. I am working on some new videos. I would not recommend succulents because they like dry climate and moss likes moist climate. You could try using dry moss and just use a dropper to water the succulent that might work.
@@janlakey2465 Ok, yeah that makes sense! Thanks!
💚💚💚
I fell in love with the art of Kodedama, after I purchased one at a festival. I purchased one for $100.00 and did not realize how easy it was. Now I want to make my own. I love your idea of repurposing. So thank you so much for the idea. I have seen other ways to make kokedama using peat moss and cocount coir. Do you think the wool fabric works best over these??
Hi sheena.
Wow $100 that’s a lot of money. I am glad you got curious to make ur own. The reason I used the wool fabric was to try and keep the moss moist without growing mold. Wool is antibacterial naturally and breathes. It worked ok but you still have to keep an eye on it daily to make sure it doesn’t dry out. I went away for a week and came back to dried out moss. Honestly…You don’t have to use anything but moss to make one. I have done it both ways and I believe the wool helped keep it moist but not as much as I was hoping. I have not compare it to peat moss and core. Have fun and experiment it’s fun to make and you will be addicted for sure after making one. Keep me posted if you find something that works better. Thanks Jan
How often u need to water them since is hard to tell if it is dry inside?
love it ... thanks...where can I buy that ceramic base? thanks. Norm
Are you talking about the black ones? I found those at the thrift store the brand is Tienshan stoneware. Thanks for watching Norm.
and yes the black rectangular ones that you have a Kokedama ball on... I would love to find one...Norm
👌👌👌
Thanks lagindri
Muito obrigada sou brasileira e estou começando na arte do kokedama, adoro também bonsai , ambos arte oriental , muito obrigada vídeo lindo .
Tem instagran??
Abraço 😘
I’m not sure what you are saying but appreciate you watching. ❤️
What could I used if I can’t find the wool fabric?
Does it have to be real real fabric or can I use synthetic fabric?
I made an orchid recently and three days later I saw mold at the bottom of the Kokedama , did you have an idea why that happened.?
Will fabric store wool suffice? How often do you "repot" the kokedama?
Yes. Any 100% wool will work. You can also make it without the wool. My theory behind the wool was to keep it moist longer to help keep the moss alive. Misting every day is a must. You don’t need to repot unless you’re plant gets to big.
@@janlakey2465 Thank you for sharing. Planning to put scant ½ tsp slow release fertilizer pellets in the wool
when to water
Beautiful 🤩... thanks for sharing.. i have a question...How to increase moss with a little patch of moss?
I have never been able to grow moss only keep it alive for a period of time and sometimes it will grow upwards. (grow taller) Mothers nature is the only one I know that can do that but I am sure someone knows how. I wish I did and I have tried.
Me gusta mas con el musgos verde,son servillesta de cosina los trapitos
my understanding is kokedama is actually very contemporary, and was invented in the late 1990s its more popular in the west than it is in Japan, as they don't take well to contemporary
I didn’t learn that but there are always different versions of every story. It’s a beautiful art regardless. Thanks for watching.
is often said that Kokedama is a descendant of the Bonsai technique, and it is true. In fact, it is estimated that the Bonsai technique began around 700 BC in China, and that of Kokedama about 500 years ago in Japan. Although it did not become known worldwide around 1990
@@putraappm thanks for sharing your knowledge. It’s all very interesting.
Please share how to take care of kokedamas?
Where to get that fabric from ?
As I said in the video you can buy the fabric usually where they sell castor oil because it is used to make castor oil packs. Health food store or drug store in the USA. Hope that helps. BTW you don’t have to use the fabric and it will still work it was something I was trying to see if it helped keep the moss alive longer. It did but ultimately it dried out in the end. Unless you are super diligent each day in looking after your moss ball it will parish. You have to think of it as a cut flower it’s end will come eventually. Have fun and enjoy the process. Cheers
This might be a dumb question, but do they get watered, plant food ?
Yes you can mist them daily and soak them weekly. Feeding them once a month or more.
@@janlakey2465 Thank you so much Jan, I need a bigger house LoL Loved that tutorial so much, ty for posting it :)
I would appreciate some advise on my moss garden - I tried it and it died :(
Hi peti sorry about your moss garden. It happens. Moss is very tricky to keep happy once you take it out of its natural habitat. Get to know it’s natural habitat better and you may find the answers you seek. Using a terrarium is the only way I have succeeded but even then I have to replace it after several years. So don’t be so hard on yourself it’s a difficult task. ❤️✌🏼😃
Could a coffee filter be used instead?
Hi Atom I have not tried a coffee filter so I am not sure. The idea behind the wool was to try to keep the moss moist. You can make it without it.
How do you keep the moss alive and green without running the risk of overwatering the main plant?
You can mist it with a water bottle
@@janlakey2465 yeah, I tried that but the moss still dried out.
@@kingkoy0072 bummer. It’s a very unnatural habitat for the moss so it’s not surprising. Mine also died because I was not able to keep up with misting each day. You might create a terrarium instead which I also have a video showing how.
Hi! I really like them😊 But I have a question 🙏 I watched several videos about making kokedama, none of them use any fabrics as you use. They usually make them just using moss and soil. can you please explain the reason of using this kind of fabric for kokedamas?😊🙏 Thank you🌷
also wondering
sorry for a late response. you don’t need to use the fabric. I used it for two reasons one to make it easier to create a vessel for the plant and two to help keep the plant and the moss moist. both things turned out to work but the most important factor is daily care to keep it alive since I travel I found this very difficult.
How do you prevent overwatering or root rot. When using soil that soaks up so much water? I see other tutorials using soil with a lot of clay.
I use living Moss, but why it dying after i Made one?
Don’t feel bad it happens. They like to be moist so try misting daily. I think of them as a temporary thing like cut flowers but with a longer life. Also they still can be enjoyed even when brown. So glad you made one. Enjoy 😊
@@janlakey2465 i see. Thank you 🙏
No entiendo el inglés, quisiera saber qué es eso que parece tela, la que pone antes de usar el musgo
Está muy hermoso
Tela de lana
This is very thorough! My process is much faster, but mine are more suitable for a tray as opposed to hanging in a tree. I use hemp twine, and I don't do the step with the fabric because I use smaller plants than can just be plugged in after the ball is done. Your method is very professional, if I only had the patience. Also, I like how you used fern moss for this.
Orchid need to breathe.
