Viola hederacea’s made into kokedamas at Trevallan
Kokedama is a style of Japanese bonsai made by taking a plant out of its pot and turning it into a ball held together with a unique soil mixture, moss and string.
Trevallan's Kokedamas can be hung outside in full or part shade, and some are perfectly suited to indoors.
Trevallan stocks a range of Kokedamas, such as Native Violets, Ficus Pimula, Parlour Palm, Brazilian Walking Iris, Ficus Fiddle Leaf and Anthuriums .
How to look after me
When the sphagnum moss feels dry to touch and the ball is light, I soak them in a bucket of water for about ten minutes. If it’s really hot, you may need to do this more than once a week. If it’s cold, you may only have to do it once a fortnight.
Alternatively, similar to your other plants, you can just water them with a hose or watering can.
If my Kokedamas are inside, I like to sit them in a bowl and top the bowl up with water.
Where to put me
Trevallan's kokedama
Some of Trevallan's Kokedamas come with their own hanger. These can be hung outside in shade or part shade, maybe under a tree or on your patio. They look fantastic as a group.
Some Kokedamas are perfectly suited to indoors and can be hung from the ceiling, or Trevallan's handmade Timber Kokedama Stand.
If hanging isn’t an option, you can sit your Kokedama on a plate or in a bowl. The sphagnum moss will be wet most of the time, so be sure to protect your furniture.
Kokedama’s are definitely worth trying - remember, not every plant needs to be potted!
