To make our Jungle Cactus Kokedama, we bind the roots of epiphytic cacti in bright green sphagnum moss. Rhipsalis and Hatiora are genera of jungle cacti that grow on the branches of trees in the understories of tropical forests, making them tolerant of more moisture than their desert counterparts.

Simply translated, kokedama means "moss ball," and these pieces are our take on the traditional Japanese bonsai practice of the same name. Sometimes called string gardens, each piece can sit in a shallow dish or hang with the attached fishing line loop, making them lovely additions to any window or tabletop.

PLANT CARE

• Light: Tolerates low light, but thrives in medium to bright, indirect light
• Water: When soil at base of plant is dry, submerge entire moss ball in room temperature water until fully saturated
• Considerations: Jungle cacti will show you when they're thirsty - water when the foliage begins to pucker
