The Japanese method of growing plants in a living planter made of a moss-covered ball of soil, is a simple, DIY project that elevates common houseplants into works of art. Because roots growing in exposed soil dry out more quickly than potted ones, plants with low-water needs are ideal for kokedama. Cut or split the ball in half, then place one half on either side of your plant’s roots, molding it back into a ball. Place your plant, right-side up, on the sheet, and wrap the sheet around the plant’s mud ball-encased roots. Grouping several kokedama plants together on a tray makes for an interesting centerpiece.
