What Makes It Uncommon

Moss Appeal

In Japan, the centuries-old technique of kokedama—cultivating plants in compact balls of moss—was sometimes called poor man’s bonsai. We think of it as the uber-cute cousin of that elegant tradition. Gardener Chris Mower lovingly wraps each plant’s root system in a sphere of soil, string, and vibrant green moss that replaces the usual pot. The eye-catching display brings a brilliant pop of living color to any space when displayed on the included clay saucer or suspended from a simple length of twine. This easy-care succulent thrives in partial shade; to water, just submerge the ball once a week, squeeze out the excess, and you’re good to go. Grown and packaged in St. Louis, Missouri.Note: Due to regulations, this item cannot be shipped to Hawaii.

SHIPPING: In order to guarantee your plant will arrive in the best condition possible, this item can only ship PREFERRED, EXPEDITED or EXPRESS SHIPPING.

Although Chris Mower majored in horticulture, he spent his career in insurance. Credit his kids with getting him back to his roots: When they recommended a hobby after retirement, he turned his lifelong love of gardening (and that college degree) into a business. Now the botanical entrepreneur runs a thriving venture from his home in St. Louis, Missouri, with marketing and logistics help from his daughter Grace. "We find such joy in spreading the happiness that plants bring to people," she says.
