Kokedama part four
Forgot to ever photograph or post this one from at least a month ago. Baby Parlour Palm (scientific binomial forgotten) from Ikea in kokedama ball, blue glass dish also Ikea (finally found a use for it!). I think the palm might actually be growing! He gets watered (soaked) about once a week. Behind is a bargain plant I found a couple of weeks ago, whose name -common or otherwise - completely escapes me, brassy pot from the Salvos.

Experiments in kokedama
This is Pinterest meets crafty chick meets gardener meets too many house plants, when the only way to go is up... Or down, in this case. As in attach the plants to the ceiling in my obsession of the week: kokedama, specifically hanging kokedama.
This is not a tutorial, but a document of my own experiments in the style. If you want to know how to make kokedama a quick whip around a few Google results will give you ample information. However, for the purposes of information, I'm using sphagnum moss, orchid mix potting media, jute twine, one of my clearance orchids, and air-dry clay. No, I'm not mixing the clay through the potting mix as I've read in tutorials (probably not suitable) but I'm making a sphere of it for the centre to give the kokedama a shape to work to, and to act as a bit of a weight.
So, here goes nothing!
