A well rooted cutting of common pothos can be wrapped with a bit of soil and suspended, allowing it to trail in front of a bright window.
You may be considering re-potting a root bound plant and choose instead to wrap it in moss. Plants can be soaked at the sink or a bit of water can be added to the saucer or vessel holding the moss ball. Kokedama thrive in humid environments such as a bathroom. Misting is a good technique for keeping moss moist. Plants which tolerate drier conditions are ideal, as are kokedama with room to hold a bit of soil encased in the moss. Key is to meet the plant's watering needs and prevent damage on surfaces from the moistened moss ball. Another popular method of display is hanging the moss wrapped plants, whether a simple wrapping of twine or a retro macrame plant hanger.
Some kokedama enthusiasts love topping their plants with a cloche, both for aesthetic appeal and to conserve moisture. Plants can be displayed on trays, from simple clay saucers to vintage china cups or bowls or any interesting vessel. Kokedama can be employed with established houseplants, cuttings of house plants or seasonal plants. The Japanese words "koke" (moss) and "dama" (ball) perfectly describes the appearance of wrapped plants, whether root bound or newly potted specimens. The root balls are then wrapped in moss and held together with twine or wire. It refers to plants grown so compact and tightly that, when removed from a container, they hold well-grown roots and soil, forming a compact ball. Kokedama originated with the Nearai bonsai method, an art form centuries old. Kokedama is a fun way to display indoor plants with a fresh organic feeling and impressive provenance.
