Re: My first Kokedama
Kokedama one month out.
No ferts. Just watered it with aquarium water. The Utric. faded out and the Rotala sp. 'Bangladesh' is still in there, just really, really small.
Cheers.

Thanks for sharing. I am going to have to give this a try (in my spare time!).

I meant to post my previous entry to this thread (erroneously posted to one of Jeff's threads):
Curious is there were any new pictures, and also thought you might be interested in this link:

So this is kind of like an emmersed Wabi-Kusa? Looks great!

Kevin;
I guess you could consider it an emersed Wabi-Kusa. Traditionally they use terrestrials like Japanese Maple seedlings, ferns, grasses and such, but I decided to try emersed aquatics just to see how it would work. It looked really good until we went on holiday for a couple of weeks and it dried up; even placed in a terrarium. It was one of the few brainstorms my wife actually liked, so ill try one that's a bit hardier next time. It dries out rather quickly.
Cheers.
