Create and maintain a healthy home for your miniature garden's root system
Use inexpensive house plants and cuttings as the basis of your kokedama
Make beautiful (and quirky) group plantings within a single project
Find, collect and propagate moss
And more!
Whether resting on a pottery dish or suspended in the air, these little indoor gardens are a wonderful way to add a touch of artistry and greenery to your home or work space.
