Kokedama with asparagus, placed on a hand-made base made of architectural concrete.
I made the kokedama a few months ago, so I'm sure the plant has taken root well and is growing steadily.
Pinnate asparagus produces thin, delicate, openwork shoots that naturally spread out to the sides and droop slightly. The leaves resemble tiny needles. I prepared the ball to allow for further growth and gradual thickening of the shoots.
I made the kokedama base from concrete, slightly lightened with mineral dye. It complements the composition without dominating the plant, and evokes classic Japanese ceramics.
PLANT

original soil mixture

CARE
It's best to place the kokedama in a bright spot with access to indirect light. Watering involves soaking the ball in water for about 10-15 minutes. Adjust the watering frequency to the room's conditions – once a week works well for most interiors.
The soil mixture used is nutritious, so fertilization isn't necessary for extended periods. The first fertilization can be introduced after about a year, observing the plant's response.
Over time, the asparagus will continue to grow. If the ball becomes too small or the roots start to grow too large, you can contact me – I can enlarge it if necessary, or I can advise you on how to do it yourself.
PACKING AND SHIPPING
The kokedama is carefully packaged for transport in an eco-friendly cardboard box, with a matching insert to stabilize the plant and kokedama. The packaging is simple, aesthetically pleasing, and suitable for gift-giving.
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.
