How to create Karen's Kokedama Balls
How to create Kokedama Balls
- Fill the bucket with half a bottle of Scotts OsmocoteĀ® Pour+Feed Cacti & Succulents. Add the sphagnum moss and let it soak for 5 minutes.
- Place your square of hessian on the disposable plate.
- Grab a handful of sphagnum moss, squeeze out the excess liquid and place onto the hessian. Then add on top a handful of Scotts Osmocote Bonsai Potting Mix.
- Remove your plant from the pot and gently shake away all of the soil around the roots and discard soil.
- Pop your bare-rooted plant on top of your sphagnum/potting mix on your hessian.
- Pull the four hessian corners up around the plant and form into a ball shape.
- Cut a 4 metre length of twine, tie on around the ball and wind it around the ball in all directions until you are happy with the look. Leave about 1m of twine (for the hanger) and tie off directly opposite the first tie. Cut string.
- Hang and enjoy your Kokedama Ball.
Caring for your Kokedama Balls
- Water once a week by dunking in a bowl of water, allow to soak for a minute and then hang it back into place.
- Every quarter, fertilise by adding Scotts OsmocoteĀ® Pour+Feed Cacti & Succulents to your bowl of water.
