A bunch of these orchid kokedama planter ideas and your home will start looking like a chic island retreat; don’t miss out!

Orchids love to grow in airy environments, perhaps a good reason why they are mostly found hanging from the tree trunks and bark! But what would give them that similar space indoors? Kokedamas!


How to Make an Orchid Kokedama?

Can orchids be planted in kokedamas? Of course! Orchids love moss, and kokedamas are all about moss-covered soil. Plus, many orchids are epiphytic and naturally grow on tree trunks and tend to thrive effortlessly in these as well.

If you’d like to make your own, here’s what you’ll need. An orchid, sphagnum moss (soaked in water for 10 minutes), orchid mix (optional), twine, jute string, and scissors. Start by creating the moss ball base around the orchid.

Take a handful of wet moss to form a soft layer around the roots, and keep adding until it forms a round shape. After that, gently wrap the moss with twine or jute to hold it in place.

Easy, right? Don’t you worry, by the time you finish these best DIY orchid kokedama ideas, you’ll be an expert!
