Just a friendly reminder! 🌿

I offer FREE rewrap services for all of my kokedamas.

If your kokedama starts to fall apart, the yarn comes undone, the plant slips out, or your plant has simply outgrown its moss ball, don't worry, I can help!

Just bring the plant and moss ball back to me, and I'll happily rewrap it for you at no charge. You can pick it up at my next market, and in some cases I may even be able to deliver it back to you.

I'll also let you know if your plant has grown beyond what is practical for a kokedama and would be better off being planted in a traditional pot.

My website (www.kokedamashop.com) is also packed with helpful resources, including:
• Kokedama Care Guide
• Kokedama FAQs
• Air Plant Care Guide
• Air Plant FAQs
• Policies & Services

Please never hesitate to reach out with questions, concerns, or plant care guidance. I want your kokedama to thrive for years to come, and I'm always happy to help!

Hi! My name is Josephine (Jo). I'm the owner & creator behind The Kokedama Shop.

I've always been a creative person. Drawing, designing, building, if I can imagine it, I usually find a way to create it. For years, I thought I'd end up in a career centered around art & design. Then my mom introduced me to my very first kokedama, & I completely fell in love. What started as curiosity quickly turned into an obsession. I spent countless hours researching, experimenting, & creating my own. Before long, The Kokedama Shop was born.

While it may not be traditional art, I still get to create something beautiful every day, & I truly love sharing that with all of you. One of my favorite parts of this business is seeing photos of your plants, watching them grow, answering your questions, & helping you find the perfect plant to bring home.

When I'm not working, you'll usually find me chasing after my kids (two wild boys & one sweet/ sassy girl), exploring new places, visiting local markets, or wandering antique stores. I have a huge love for vintage treasures, especially vintage cameras. Over the years, I've collected around 50 cameras, & one of my favorites is a 1930s Graflex Speed Graphic my husband gifted me.

A few fun facts about me:
✨ I love crafting cocktails
✨ Matcha is my drink of choice
✨ Tacos are my favorite food
✨ I enjoy getting outside & exploring
✨ I'm always planning my next tattoo
✨ My Siamese cat, Aitan, is my best friend

At my core, I'm simply someone who loves helping others. Whether it's finding the perfect plant, rescuing an animal in need, or supporting another small business, my heart tends to lead the way.

One of my newest adventures has been adding my 1977 Volkswagen Bay Window Bus to the business. If you've met me, you know I love all things vintage, so she fits perfectly. I couldn't be more grateful to have her as part of The Kokedama Shop. She truly makes my plant business feel complete.

Thank you for following along, supporting my small business, & allowing me to do something I genuinely love. Every purchase, kind word, shared post, & visit means more than you know.

I'm so glad you're here 💚🌿

At the Julia Davis Park (in Boise) today from 11 am - 5 pm! Come say hi!

The Discovery Center bought the paddle boats and today is their grand opening!

05/21/2026

Come see me at Julia Davis Park in Boise for the grand opening of the paddle boats! Hosted by Discovery Center. 11 am to 5 pm. May 23rd.

Look for a white tent. Ms Pink Petal won't be with me this time (she's fine).

Your plants need food too! 🌿

One of the biggest differences between a struggling plant and a thriving one is fertilizing. Over time, plants use up the nutrients in their soil — especially houseplants living in pots. Without those nutrients, growth can slow, leaves may turn yellow, colors become dull, and your plant may stop producing new growth altogether.

When you fertilize regularly, you’re giving your plants the nutrients they need to: Grow fuller and faster

✨ Produce healthier roots
✨ Maintain vibrant color
✨ Recover from stress more easily
✨ Stay strong during the growing season

Think of fertilizer as vitamins for your plants. Water keeps them alive, but nutrients help them thrive. 🌱

If you’re unsure what fertilizer your plant needs, feel free to ask me at the next market or send me a message!

Thank you for all your support!

I'll be at the paddle boat Grand opening this Saturday from 11 am - 5. At the Julia davis park in Boise.

Unfortunately, Ms. Pink Petal (my Volkswagen) won't be there. But I will have a pop up tent for the market. Nothing is wrong with her, I'm just not able to bring her due to city rules with a vehicle on the grass. So you'll catch her back at the Nampa farmers market the following weekend!

Hope to see you there!
