Kokedama – Callisia repens (Turtle Vine / Baby Tears)
A Living Moss Ball Overflowing with Tiny Green Leaves
This enchanting kokedama is a traditional Japanese moss ball planting — a handcrafted dark soil and moss sphere that serves as both the root home and the vessel for a spectacular Callisia repens (Turtle Vine / Baby Tears). The plant is incredibly full and lush, with hundreds of tiny, perfectly round bright green leaves on delicate branching stems that cascade in every direction — spilling off the moss ball like a miniature waterfall of green. From above it looks like a perfect cloud of foliage; from the side, the beautiful dark kokedama ball is visible beneath a curtain of trailing vines. A living sculpture that is as meditative to look at as it is easy to care for.
