πΏ About Our Kokedamas
What is a kokedama?
A kokedama (θη) is a Japanese art form where a plant's roots are wrapped in a ball of soil and covered in moss. The word literally means "moss ball." Each MORI kokedama is handmade with care β a living sculpture that brings calm, natural beauty into any space.
Are your kokedamas handmade?
Yes, every single one. No two kokedamas are exactly alike. Each is shaped, wrapped, and tied by hand in small batches, which means yours is genuinely one of a kind.
What plants do you use?
We work with a curated selection of indoor plants suited to the kokedama format β including ferns, pothos, peace lilies, ficus, and more. Each product listing tells you exactly which plant is inside. Seasonal availability may vary.
Do they come with a pot or tray?
Kokedamas are designed to be displayed without a traditional pot. They can be placed on a small dish or tray (not included), or hung from twine as a hanging display. Check our accessories section for compatible trays and hanging kits.

My plant isn't looking well β what should I do?
First, check our Care Hub β most common issues (yellowing leaves, wilting, moss discolouration) are addressed there. If you're still concerned, reach out to us directly. We genuinely want your plant to thrive.
π± Plant Care
How do I water a kokedama?
Kokedamas are watered by submersion, not pouring. Fill a bowl with room-temperature water and submerge the moss ball for 15β20 minutes. Remove, drain well, and return to its spot. Visit our Care Hub for the full watering guide.
How much light does a kokedama need?
It depends on the plant inside. Most of our kokedamas prefer bright, indirect light β away from harsh direct sun. Each product listing includes specific light requirements. Our Care Instructions page also covers light needs by plant type.
How long will my kokedama last?
With proper care, a healthy kokedama can thrive for many years. Some customers have kokedamas that are 5+ years old. The key is consistent watering, appropriate light, and occasional re-wrapping of the moss as it ages.
Can I repot my kokedama?
Yes β as your plant grows, you may want to refresh the soil or expand the moss ball. We recommend doing this every 1β2 years in spring. It's a meditative process, and we'll soon have a guide for it in our Care Hub.
