About This Class

 

In this class I’m going to teach you how to make Orchid Kokedamas, how to chose the right materials (plant, soil, moss, twine, etc.) and how to care for your Orchid Kokedama.

This class is for you: 

 -  if you love plants and would like to make a beautiful addition to your home.

 - If you're just starting with houseplants and looking for a unique way to display them.

 - or if you are looking for a personalised gift for someone you love

Don’t worry if you have no experience with plants, I will explain everything.

I also recommend to listen to some calming music, or whaterever you like while you create. You can hear Emotions by Simon More in the videos.

Transcripts

1. Potless Orchid: Hi and welcome. My name is Scanga, and in this class I will show you how to make an old head. A beautiful cookie gamma. You will learn how to make a cut them out without using any soil. I will explain what materials you will need to make sure that you're all happy. You can display like this. Then they taper. I recommend for that. You can find from the scene and click further ado, let's get started. 2. Materials: What do you need to make another feed into a nice cookie lemma, you will need a plan. I will use this small size or hits that already has some flowers, some absolutely beautiful flowers. And it came in a nice kind of transplant plot, plot, kind of transparent, transparent port that you can see that the roots are nice and green and they look very healthy. Still currently. This leaves in. So ready, Let's have a look closer. Look. This tiny market already lives in most, most of them come in the blood that contains Spark. But don't worry, you just need to get rid of the park carefully so you won't damage the road. Or you can use the flower the same. So this looks like it has some root rots. So if you're all kids, like mine, not quite hat, look quite healthy. But this one. So when you put it mounted on the sphere or a ball, you want to get rid of this bit so that the roots will be safe. I'm just going to play it back before I use it. The next thing that you really need is a sphere or a ball. You can buy it in. Like this one is a dog toy. I started from my dog. She doesn't mind. It hasn't got the squeaky bit in, so she doesn't care. What is important. It has open. The inside is open and you can buy toys dog toys are usually bigger. Sometimes the both go into the dryer to help with the clothes are really good as well. That area inside the head, let's surface to stay on and stand out. So when you put it on the table, it doesn't. That's not for all away. Very easily. Obviously it will somehow. But if it does go away or roll away, you might want to add ring. So it has a nice surface that it stays on and stands on. That the thing is, I like to use is this velcro to keep the or hidden place. He doesn't need the specific work roles or plan for Chrome, you can use a little bit thicker wine. There are green colored client as well, so it's not going to be visible. You finish a scissor and some sphagnum moss. It is already hydrated, nice and stuff. It is not green because it was hydrated from the break and dried version. But if you keep it in a bright area, it often becomes green again in the live. So that's what I'm hoping for. And the last thing that you need is this thread, not this one, but let's read the hue. Can you Bella, who had the most in place with decimal? So ideally, you can use transparent ones, but I find that the darker ones are obviously but either. So yeah, that is it. Let's get started. 3. Preparation: The first thing that maybe I need to do is to get out of there. Get the roots out very carefully because we don't want to damage the roots. This one's quite rude, bombed, I think. Really want to come off. So it is easier when you have yours and bark because it just comes basically off or out of air, flows out effect. It is good. Very carefully, I don't want to damage the root, but it is good that this one is already in loss because that means that it already familiar with the conditions. You can reuse the moss if you want this orchid. Clean, new one. You can see the roots and the roots are green because it has chlorophyll in them. And that means that they can photosynthesize. So that is why they are not going to put this in soil and close roots into the soil. So this is now for a second I thought I I ripped off. No, it's fine. So now that I opened it, I see that it's not her eyes, but pretty cute. When you cut the roads, you want to use that. You did it in all kinds of different factor. And you only want to cut the rules that are rotten basically. You want to keep the house a bit. So we go, I think. Others. Just one. No. No. So yeah. Alright. I will stake, should have done this before, but I will just take these islands off as well. Because just for not having done neither me mathematically, we can see how this will sit on the wall. In general that you don't want to put it this way. So I want to say here nicely, I've used this one and try it out in the book. Remember you can use Twine going like this. I would hope so. Yeah. So do you want to find the place where the kid that one? There you go. 4. Your Project: So the next step is to cover the ball. In most first, because I got this weird liquor football, I will just put this to the side. I don't want it to be visible, but I will leave this in here. So what I'm gonna do is covered the ball in most accurate with it twice and then put the orchid on top and then cover it in. Again. Kind of keep the sign doesn't need very thick layer. Just wanted to kind of make sure that the boilers mafia Zippo lacked the look of it. You can just skip this stuff. It doesn't matter how you wrap it around. So ideally in one made me say bar. When you do it, I find it that the darker the thread that less visible is basically it is totally up to you what the water is coming off. So now we want to find this foot. Note. We've run thumb, I'm holding this thread in place. And the other one. Okay? So with this one, it doesn't really matter how I want to keep this very long. Because this way let me say it this way. Guys on the side. Okay. Become can see the bell. Give it some nice it is. Alright. Just going to say kept in place. So. The top fund about them. So now I'm just going to cover this with a bit of moss. I'm not even sure. I like it this way to be honest. I just get some out. No one sits nicely on the top. Again is the bed. And from the filament. So I'm just going to erase some more muslin top. I would definitely call that good, but actually I'm not very bothered about he went to keep my not end on this read longer if you want to get on this box. And just loosely, loosely, don't want to definitely don't want to hurt the roots. So here I can see a little bit, little bit more of the root, this one, and I just want to cover it. Must. Go ahead. Remember you don't want to, don't want to just want to hold in place. When you are happy with the look. It's my new tie them together. Find the other end. It's just the regular. Not lazy. But this is how it extends nicely. They look so amazing. But forget to take a photo of a chair it in the project section. See you next time.
