Discover the art of kokedama with our Wecandoo workshops
Do you dream of creating your own kokedama? Our Wecandoo workshops introduce you to this unique Japanese plant art. Learn how to shape your moss sphere and choose the ideal plant. A creative and zen experience, easy and accessible for everyone. Ready to get your hands in the dirt?
Kokedama, a potless growing technique, has its roots in Japan. It combines the know-how of bonsai with that of miniature landscaping. This ancestral method consists of wrapping a plant's roots in a sphere of moss and soil.
Today, kokedama is experiencing a revival in interior decoration. It offers an ecological and aesthetic alternative to traditional pots. Our 2-hour Wecandoo workshops, starting at €45, allow you to discover it and create your own unique piece.
Want to know how to make a kokedama? Our Wecandoo workshops offer you a complete immersion in this fascinating world. You will learn the essential gestures to create your own plant suspension. Alone, with friends, or family, a passionate artisan guides you step by step, from choosing the plant to finishing your creation. In the end, you leave with your personalized kokedama. This zen and creative experience is accessible to everyone, from beginners to gardening enthusiasts.
Choosing the right plant is crucial for successfully creating your kokedama. Our artisans will advise you on the species suitable for this technique. Ferns, succulents, or small flowering plants: each plant brings its unique charm to your creation. Did you know that some houseplants can live up to 10 years in a well-maintained kokedama?
You will also learn how to adapt care based on the chosen plant. Watering and sun exposure are essential aspects to keep your kokedama healthy. Our workshops provide you with all the keys for a lasting result, whether your creation is suspended or placed on a surface.
Creating the moss sphere is the heart of the kokedama technique. Our artisans will show you how to mix soil and moss to achieve the perfect consistency. You will learn to form a solid sphere that will house your plant's roots. It's an easy process once you know the tricks!
The workshop also introduces you to the delicate skill of wrapping the root ball in your moss sphere. You will master the art of tying the string, which is essential for holding everything together. This step requires precision and patience, but how satisfying it is to see your kokedama take shape in your hands!
Kokedama offers multiple staging possibilities. Suspended, placed on a support, or grouped in a composition, they bring a touch of nature to your interior. Our workshops inspire you to create original presentations tailored to your decor. A small kokedama can even find its place on a desk!
You will also learn how to vary sizes and shapes. From mini creations to large suspensions, each piece finds its place in your interior. Feel free to mix styles for a unique and personalized result. Just like dried flower bouquets, you can make them durable decorative elements.
Caring for your kokedama is simple but essential. Our artisans share their tips for optimal watering and sun exposure suited to each plant. You will learn to recognize the signs that indicate when it needs attention. For example, did you know that a light kokedama is a sign that it needs watering?
Pruning and repotting are also part of the care for your kokedama. These simple gestures help maintain its shape and health over the long term. With these care tips, your kokedama will remain a living and decorative element in your interior for years to come. Also, discover our terrarium workshops to diversify your plant creations!
