==Creation== Kokedama is also called poor man's bonsai. It is made of wet akadama soil and keto (peat) formed to a ball. The plant is set into the ball and afterwards the moss is wrapped around. Aluminium wire or nylon wire fixes the whole bundle, and is sometimes used to suspend the kokedama in the air.
