SPACE balls

Sick of your plants just being plants and growing out of the ground? I mean...how boring right? Wouldn't it be rad to pretend we are in space, and see plants orbiting around our room like we are astronauts....OR...stoned!? So there's this new craze that's making terrariums "so yesterday" called Kokodama. It's actually an old Japanese botanic art form that has recently been revived.  I feel like they are an acquired taste and suit a more modern space, but when done right...they are pretty cool. They are also great for balconies, porches and well lit retail/hospitality spaces. Like most plants (and people)....they don't like to be neglected and need a little lurve to thrive. This love comes by way of a little misting of water every morning. That's all. I wish we all just needed that to flourish.
CLICK HERE for a nifty little DIY guide from the clever people at Design Sponge who lifted it from Aura Scaringi (Netherlands based designer). Pretty mossy goodness.
