        How to make an ivy kokedama?<\/span><\/h2>

        Ivy is perfect for making kokedama.<\/p>

        Prepare your substrate by mixing 2 parts potting soil to 1 part clay and 1 part vermiculite (or perlite). Gradually add water to obtain a malleable paste.<\/p>

        Prepare your ivy by untangling the roots and removing as much soil as possible. Shorten the roots slightly.<\/p>

        Arrange your pastry around the roots, forming a round ball. Cover your ball with moss. Tie the foam with invisible nylon thread. If you want to hang your kokedama, you can also tie a string into the ball.<\/p>

        Spray your ball regularly to keep the moss green. Soak your ball in a plate or bowl of water to water your ivy when the substrate is dry.<\/p>

        Easy, pretty and trendy!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
