The newest obsession for a lot of gardeners is growing plants in a moss ball. Now, what does that mean? Well, we are talking about the traditional Japanese technique of Kokedama. Regardless of which plants you have seen growing in Kokedama until now, here’s how to make DIY succulent Kokedama planters!
13 DIY Succulent Kokedama Planters
1. Kokedama in a Box
First up, we have an Echeveria variety having the time of its life in a Kokedama ball that is taken to a whole new level in a DIY wooden box. Isn’t that super easy?
2. Coconut-like Kokedama
This DIY planter truly looks like your succulent is growing right out of a coconut husk! To keep everything in place, you can use a piece of twine, rope, or thread as shown.
3. Kokedama with a Crystal
This is quite similar to the previous point with the use of twine or rope to keep everything together. But what stands out about this idea is the addition of a piece of crystal at the front!
4. Kokedama Wall Planter
Want Kokedama wall planters? Well, you can’t really attach them to the wall, so the next best thing you can do is hang them from the ceiling near a wall and call it a day!

Succulents need their daily fill of bright, indirect sunlight, so this idea of hanging Kokedama planters by the window is not just great for decor but also gives them the best growing conditions!
