Kokedama

from £25.00

Why I love this plant

In Japan Kokedama, which translates to moss ball, has been most popular as part of an art tradition and philosophy called 'Wabi-Sabi' -A world view centered in the acceptance of imperfection and appreciating beauty that is ‘imperfect’, impermanent and incomplete’ in nature. This brings a certain sense of serenity and calmness when making, looking after and showcasing these beautiful plants.

A little tip

Keep nice and moist and let the moss ball drain off so they don’t drip on your surfaces. I like to spritz with a spray bottle every few days to ensure the moss remains damp.


Why our Kokedama are different
As always we like to maintain our sustainability ethics. We have been growing our very own moss this year, specifically for this moment.
We don’t encourage using bags of harvested Sphagnum moss due to it’s questionable ethics and unknown location of harvest, so this year we decided to grow our own. We have worked alongside another UK nursery in order to grow on from their already peat free and organically grown moss, which means these Kokedama are supporting the very best in growing practices. No harvesting has accounted in any of the process and it’s something we are always really proud of.

All soil used is obviously peat free and chemical free.
All plants are grown in the same manner and this year we are proudly donating a proportion of profits in the run up to Christmas, to World Central Kitchen, a charity that is first to the frontlines, providing fresh meals in response to humanitarian, climate, and community crises.

Why are all of our plants peat free?

We have never and will never use peat in the growing of our plants. 

Harriet’s Plants is the first small scale, peat free, chemical free and 100% UK grown, planet friendly grower of houseplants. This means that I grow EVERYTHING within my glasshouse in Cornwall. The majority of growers are overseas and use peat as their main ingredients in their substrates.

Why virgin plastic free?

Harriets Plants uses no virgin plastic pots and instead recycles nursery pots from local garden centres to utilise for growing.
We also use coir pots, which are made from coconut fibres to create a 100% compostable and degradable pot over time. These coir pots are sustainably sourced and support women with fair paid work in Sri Lanka.

Why Chemical free?

Harriets Plants is against the use of pesticides and un-natural chemicals. 

We grow our peat free houseplants following organic practices and never use harmful chemicals within the nursery.  We are a biodynamic houseplant and outdoor plant nursery that focuses on working with the natural environment to grow hardier and more environmentally friendly houseplants and outdoor plants to the UK.

What are 100% UK grown houseplants?

Did we mention we are 100% Cornwall, UK grown? All the houseplants and outdoor plants within the nursery are grown right here in the UK.  This means the whole process from seed sowing, propagating and growing a full houseplant, happens right under one glass roof. No plant imports take place at Harriets Plants.

What are Sustainable houseplants?

As a whole practice, Harriets Plants grows sustainable houseplants and outdoor plants for the UK. 

This encompasses peat free, chemical free, virgin plastic free and 100% UK grown houseplants and outdoor plants. All of the plants on this website are sustainably grown and follow organic practices. The perfect gift for the eco warrior in your life.
