Flowering Orchid Kokedama

Floating Orchid Kokedama

Add something truly unexpected to your space with these floating orchid spheres. This is kokedama—a centuries-old Japanese technique where plants grow in moss-wrapped soil balls that hang suspended in mid-air. The result? Pure botanical sculpture. Your orchid appears to float, its elegant blooms cascading from a sphere of living moss, creating a focal point that's equal parts zen and dramatic.

Kokedama transforms how you think about displaying plants. Instead of filling horizontal surfaces, you're using vertical space in the most elegant way possible. The moss ball itself is beautiful—wrapped in natural twine with that rich green texture—and the orchid spike emerges from it in full bloom. You can choose between soft light pink, vibrant hot pink, or pure white orchids, depending on your aesthetic. These orchids will bloom for months, and when they finish, they'll rest and rebloom again—meaning this isn't just beautiful now, it's a long-term investment that keeps giving.

The Premium Details:

Your kokedama arrives ready to hang. The moss ball is expertly crafted using quality sphagnum moss that holds moisture beautifully while allowing the orchid's roots to breathe. Inside is our specially formulated orchid growing medium that provides exactly what these plants need.

Care is surprisingly simple: you'll soak the entire moss ball in water every 7-10 days (we'll show you exactly how), and mist the moss lightly between soakings if your home is particularly dry.

Dimensions: Approximately 30cm (H) x 20cm (W) including blooms

New to Plants? We've Got You Covered:

Orchids have a reputation for being fussy, but they're actually quite straightforward once you understand their needs. The kokedama format makes it even easier—when the moss ball feels light, it's time to soak it. When it feels heavy, you're good. Orchids love bright, indirect light (near a window but not in harsh sun), and they're perfectly happy with benign neglect between waterings.

When we deliver (free anywhere on Waiheke), we'll show you the perfect spot to hang it and demonstrate the simple soaking routine. You'll get a printed care guide, and you're covered by our 30-day plant health guarantee.

This is living art that makes people stop and ask "how does that work?" Kokedama are conversation pieces that bring something genuinely unique to your space. The orchid blooms last for months, and with proper care, they'll rebloom year after year. It's the perfect solution for small spaces, creative displays, or anywhere you want to add botanical interest without using floor or counter space. Plus, there's something genuinely meditative about the soaking routine—it becomes a moment of connection with your plant rather than just another chore.
