Shailaja is the creative mind behind String Garden Studio. She is an expert in plants and is extremely passionate about creating sustainable and unique garden spaces using techniques like the Kokedama, Terrariums and more.
Kokedama is a Japanese art form where a plant’s roots are encased in a ball of soil, covered with moss, and bound with string. They can be displayed on a decorative tray or hung as a “string garden.” They are sustainable, as they use natural materials, and are easy to maintain, making them a perfect addition to modern living spaces.
A Terrarium is often called a “forest in a jar,” where plants thrive inside a sealed or open glass container, creating their own miniature ecosystem. Terrariums are self-sustaining, as moisture continuously recycles within the jar, and they require minimal care. Their low-maintenance nature and compact design make them an ideal way to bring a touch of greenery into any space.
To water your Kokedama, gently soak the moss ball in a bowl of water for 10–15 minutes until it feels heavy and fully hydrated. Let the excess water drain before placing it back. Depending on the weather, this may be needed once or twice a week.
With proper care, your Kokedama can thrive for months or even years! Over time, you may need to re-moss or repot the plant as it grows. Regular watering, indirect light, and some plant love are all it needs to stay happy.
Closed terrariums create their own mini-ecosystem and rarely need watering. Check for signs like dry soil or lack of condensation on the glass. If it looks dry, add a small amount of water - usually once every 4–6 weeks is enough.
Step into a world where nature meets mindfulness. At our workshops, we guide you through the art of creating kokedamas, terrariums, and green decor with your own hands. It’s not just about plants, it’s about slowing down, reconnecting with nature, and finding joy in simple, soulful creations.
At String Garden Studio, we believe that every space deserves a touch of green. Our handcrafted kokedamas, terrariums, and plant creations not only add beauty but also bring calm, joy, and life into your home or workspace. Green décor isn’t just about aesthetics - it’s about creating soulful and nurturing environments.
