Kusamono with Sedum makinoi 'Tornado'', planted in a triangular concrete pot made by me by hand.
I prepared the composition a few months ago, so I am sure that the plant has taken root well and is growing steadily.
Sedum makinoi 'Tornado' is a succulent with small, fleshy leaves. Over time, it gradually spreads outward and begins to overhang the container, creating a compact, cascading form. The plant has been growing in this arrangement for several months and has achieved the habit visible in the photos.
I handcrafted the vessel from light-colored concrete. Its geometric, triangular shape contrasts with the soft lines of the sprawling shoots.

KUSAMONO CARE
Kusamono is best placed in a very bright spot. The Asian ragwort tolerates direct sunlight well, and the right amount of light helps maintain a compact habit and healthy growth.
The substrate should dry out between waterings. Watering frequency should be adjusted to the temperature and conditions in the room.
The soil mix I used is nutritious and well-drained, so fertilization isn't necessary for extended periods. Fertilization can be gradually introduced, if necessary, and the plant's response monitored.
The plant will continue to grow and gradually change shape. Regular pruning can maintain a more compact shape or direct its growth in a desired direction.
DIMENSIONS
- vessel dimensions: 10x10x5.5 cm
- total height: 9 cm
- composition width: 13cm
PACKING AND SHIPPING
Kusamono is carefully protected for transport in an ecological cardboard packaging, with a matching filling to stabilize the plant and the vessel.
Shipping is dependent on weather conditions. In extremely cold or hot weather, shipping may be delayed or postponed. In such cases, I will contact the buyer to arrange a safe delivery date.
Kusamono is a living plant composition. I only ship healthy and well-growing plants, but their continued development depends on the indoor conditions and subsequent care.
