Kokedama part two

Again, not a tutorial, but this is how I made my first hanging kokedama. 

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! 

Whoops

Watering and fertilising my orchids and and managed to snap off a section of the biggest, oldest, original, and only full price one. She's a yellow Oncidium orchid, 'Dancing Ladies,' and bought a few years ago to celebrate moving back into our little house after our renovation was nearly completed. 

Plenty of roots intact there, so nothing for it but to pot it up and voila, a new plant (or two, maybe!)

I note also that those wrinkled pseudo-bulbs show I let it dry out a bit too much, too often.
