Thanks Sonia ! I appreciate you taking the time to let me know. You made my day. Jan

Thanks 😊 I appreciate you

Glad you enjoyed it. thanks for sharing your thoughts

Thanks so much. The fabric was something I added to try and keep the moss alive longer. I think it worked but you still need to water them regularly. In the end mine died because I went out of town. 😁. They still are gorgeous and fun to make and to have in your environment. Enjoy.

Thanks so much for your feedback. Sending you cheer today.

Thank you very much!

Hi Trish I water mine by placing it in a bowl and then letting it drain before putting it back. You can also mist them everyday which will help keep the moss alive. The enclosed glass vessel is called a cloche. Plants that like high humidity do best like ferns. Succulents don’t do well because they like it dry. Thanks for watching and thanks for your questions. So glad my teaching was clear.

You can use a spray bottle to water for your plants everyday

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. ❤️✌🏼🙂

Hi sheena. Wow $100 that’s a lot of money. I am glad you got curious to make ur own. The reason I used the wool fabric was to try and keep the moss moist without growing mold. Wool is antibacterial naturally and breathes. It worked ok but you still have to keep an eye on it daily to make sure it doesn’t dry out. I went away for a week and came back to dried out moss. Honestly…You don’t have to use anything but moss to make one. I have done it both ways and I believe the wool helped keep it moist but not as much as I was hoping. I have not compare it to peat moss and core. Have fun and experiment it’s fun to make and you will be addicted for sure after making one. Keep me posted if you find something that works better. Thanks Jan

Yes a light spray daily. Eventually it will died or go dormant in my experience but it’s beautiful while it last. Have fun with it.

Hi Julian Thanks for the wonderful comment. It is much the same as a potted plant. When you transplant a plant to a bigger pot it’s because the plant has grown so much it out grows it’s container. However I am not certain because I did not keep any of my moss balls that long to find out. The hardest part is keeping the moss alive. You need to keep them moist.

SIMPLY AWESOME AND FABULOUS🌱✨

Hi Adi, Thanks so much for your kind feedback and encouragement. I am working on some new videos. I would not recommend succulents because they like dry climate and moss likes moist climate. You could try using dry moss and just use a dropper to water the succulent that might work.

@@janlakey2465 Ok, yeah that makes sense! Thanks!

I never tried cotton. The reason I used wool was for its anti bacterial properties. If you try it let me know how it goes. Thanks 😊

Thanks lagindri

I’m not sure what you are saying but appreciate you watching. ❤️

Are you talking about the black ones? I found those at the thrift store the brand is Tienshan stoneware. Thanks for watching Norm.

and yes the black rectangular ones that you have a Kokedama ball on... I would love to find one...Norm

I didn’t learn that but there are always different versions of every story. It’s a beautiful art regardless. Thanks for watching.

is often said that Kokedama is a descendant of the Bonsai technique, and it is true. In fact, it is estimated that the Bonsai technique began around 700 BC in China, and that of Kokedama about 500 years ago in Japan. Although it did not become known worldwide around 1990

@@putraappm thanks for sharing your knowledge. It’s all very interesting.

Yes. Any 100% wool will work. You can also make it without the wool. My theory behind the wool was to keep it moist longer to help keep the moss alive. Misting every day is a must. You don’t need to repot unless you’re plant gets to big.

@@janlakey2465 Thank you for sharing. Planning to put scant ½ tsp slow release fertilizer pellets in the wool

Yes you can mist them daily and soak them weekly. Feeding them once a month or more.

@@janlakey2465 Thank you so much Jan, I need a bigger house LoL Loved that tutorial so much, ty for posting it :)

I have never been able to grow moss only keep it alive for a period of time and sometimes it will grow upwards. (grow taller) Mothers nature is the only one I know that can do that but I am sure someone knows how. I wish I did and I have tried.

Hi peti sorry about your moss garden. It happens. Moss is very tricky to keep happy once you take it out of its natural habitat. Get to know it’s natural habitat better and you may find the answers you seek. Using a terrarium is the only way I have succeeded but even then I have to replace it after several years. So don’t be so hard on yourself it’s a difficult task. ❤️✌🏼😃

You can mist it with a water bottle

@@janlakey2465 yeah, I tried that but the moss still dried out.

@@kingkoy0072 bummer. It’s a very unnatural habitat for the moss so it’s not surprising. Mine also died because I was not able to keep up with misting each day. You might create a terrarium instead which I also have a video showing how.

Está muy hermoso

Hi Atom I have not tried a coffee filter so I am not sure. The idea behind the wool was to try to keep the moss moist. You can make it without it.

As I said in the video you can buy the fabric usually where they sell castor oil because it is used to make castor oil packs. Health food store or drug store in the USA. Hope that helps. BTW you don’t have to use the fabric and it will still work it was something I was trying to see if it helped keep the moss alive longer. It did but ultimately it dried out in the end. Unless you are super diligent each day in looking after your moss ball it will parish. You have to think of it as a cut flower it’s end will come eventually. Have fun and enjoy the process. Cheers

Don’t feel bad it happens. They like to be moist so try misting daily. I think of them as a temporary thing like cut flowers but with a longer life. Also they still can be enjoyed even when brown. So glad you made one. Enjoy 😊

@@janlakey2465 i see. Thank you 🙏

also wondering

sorry for a late response. you don’t need to use the fabric. I used it for two reasons one to make it easier to create a vessel for the plant and two to help keep the plant and the moss moist. both things turned out to work but the most important factor is daily care to keep it alive since I travel I found this very difficult.

How do you prevent overwatering or root rot. When using soil that soaks up so much water? I see other tutorials using soil with a lot of clay.
