Indoor hanging baskets? Who needs them! Learn all about the Japanese art of creating pot-less suspended plants, known as kokedama, from New Zealand hanging plant extraordinaire and botanist, Coraleigh Parker. Coraleigh's moss ball creations, featuring orchids, air plants, cacti, succulents, flowering bulbs, tropical plants and even small trees and herbs, are suspended in mid-air and supported by nothing more than a series of strings, intricately wrapped, cocoon style, around a root ball. Kokedamas are very simple to make and have a magical quality; by suspending them in the air with string, with Coraleigh’s help and 25 easy-to-follow projects, you can create a hanging garden inside your home in no time.
?Decorating with indoor plants has never been more popular and, following on from terrariums, concrete pot planting and the obsession with fern, cacti and succulents, contemporary kokedama is the next trend that’s spreading fast. Kokedama is the ultimate botanical trend as it offers everything through a single, versatile and inexpensive craft: you can turn any of your favourite plants into a kokedama “on a string”!

      Botanical designer Parker, who runs the New Zealand design firm Pickled Whimsy, offers a next-level challenge to people who love growing plants indoors: un-pot the plants. An essential part of cultivating potless plants—known in Japan as kokedama—is the art of making them: mixing the appropriate soil, using the right kind of moss and string to contain the root ball, and suspending the plant. Making kokedama, Parker explains, is both meditative and messy, requiring hands-on contact with natural materials. Parker gives helpful step-by-step illustrated instructions to guide the novice. She presents basic how-tos, then devotes chapters to different kinds of plants (tropicals, succulents, ferns, and others) that make good kokedama. Larnie Nicholson’s alluring photographs illustrate the individual steps and showcase the finished products in gorgeous full-page photos of these dangling botanical beauties thriving indoors. Gardeners of all levels will be intrigued, but the book is best suited to advanced gardeners willing to devote patience and care to creating these unusual indoor gems. Color photos.
