What is a kokedama?

Kokedama, which translates to “moss ball,” is a Japanese form of plant art that originated in the Edo Period in Japan between the 1600s and the 1800s. They were originally created as an alternative to traditional bonsai plants, giving them the nickname “Poor Man’s Bonsai.” Kokedama was considered a cheaper alternative to the beloved art of Bonsai, which can cost from hundreds to thousands of dollars to maintain, even today.
