Kokedama with golden epipremnum (Epipremnum aureum) in a hanging version, hung on a brass hook.
I made the kokedama a few weeks ago, so I'm sure the plant has taken root well and is growing steadily.
Epipremnum produces long, flexible stems that naturally elongate over time and freely arrange themselves in space. In its hanging form, the plant gradually changes the composition's character, with additional leaves appearing directly around and below the sphere. The lack of a traditional pot means that the stems, leaves, and the kokedama's structure are the primary focus.
The ball is covered with natural moss and hung on a brass hook I crafted myself. The simple design allows you to showcase the plant without any additional elements.

CARE
It's best to hang kokedama in a bright spot with indirect light. Epipremnums also do well in slightly lower light conditions, although they may grow more slowly.
Watering involves periodically soaking the ball in water for about 10-15 minutes and draining off excess moisture. In most interiors, watering once a week is sufficient, but the frequency should be adjusted according to temperature and humidity.
The soil mix I used is nutritious, so fertilization isn't necessary for extended periods. Fertilization can be introduced gradually, if necessary, and the plant's response monitored.
Over time, the epipremnum will continue to grow and send out new shoots. If the ball becomes too small or the roots clearly outgrow it, you can contact me – I can enlarge it or suggest how to do it yourself.
PACKING AND SHIPPING
The kokedama is carefully packaged for transport in an eco-friendly cardboard box, with matching padding to stabilize the plant and kokedama. The packaging is simple, aesthetically pleasing, and makes a perfect gift.
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.
Kokedama is a living plant arrangement. I only ship healthy and well-rooted plants, but their continued development depends on the indoor conditions and subsequent care.
