Pilea Depressa 'Baby Tears' with Coconut pot
Pilea Depressa
The Pilea Depressa is a popular climbing evergreen made up of hundreds of petite leaves.
It is commonly known as Baby Tears due to its similarity to the Soleirolia soleirolii which is also known as the Baby Tears plant.
They are great terrarium plants because of the micro foliage and humidity needs.
Your Pilea Depressa comes in a handmade Kokodama bowl, a sustainable alternative to traditional decorative pots. You will also receive a matching hanging rope.
Kokodama bowl size: 15 cm
Overall plant height including growing pot: 5-15 cm
What is Kokodama?
Kokodama is a fair trade, natural and biodegradable alternative to displaying the most beautiful plants!
They are bowls made in Sri Lanka using coconut fibre. Part of the profits of the sales help projects to educate local children.
Each kokodama bowl has a matching rope to give you the option of hanging them! You will have your own indoor jungle in no time!
But what is the correct spelling?
Kokedama: A Japanese tradition, they are bowls made with moss on which the plant grows.
Kokodama: Our Kokodamas are based on the Japanese tradition but made with coconut fibre, hence the slight variation on their name!
