BLOOMSBURG, Pa. — Roaming Roots Plan Co is a mobile/ pop up plant shop based in Bloomsburg, PA. Home and Backyard visited Roaming Roots where owners Bridgette and Kolton Lynn showed us how to create a Kokedama with some beautiful house plants. A Kokedama is a Japanese art of growing plants. It is a ball of soil, covered with moss, on which a plant grows. It comes from the words “koke” meaning moss, and “dama” meaning ball.
Bridgette utilized the following materials: house plant soil, water, sheet moss, fishing line, scissors, a container to mix the soil and water and a house (plant preferably one that trails). She formed a ball with soil with water, she then divided the ball in half and placed the plant roots into the ball and formed it back together. She then covered it in sheet moss and wrapped in around multiple times (like a ball of yarn) with fishing line to secure the moss then knotted and cut the fishing line.
Roaming Roots also has a retail space by appointment only. You can message them on Facebook. Roaming Roots Plant Co
