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 jade 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.
