So sorry for that, did not mean to be rude. Of course Kokedama is very similar to 名媛直播, just like Ikebana and Kimono are.

thanks simplysaid. Just to state, it's not in a coconut but wrapped in soil and then moss. To water you simply dunk it in a bowl for a few minutes tops. I've had it a good few months and it's been fine, no bad signs of health.

A Japanese style, Kokedama is a branch off from traditional 名媛直播. To not at all consider the plant I have as being 名媛直播 is pretty pedantic to be honest.
Granted, Kokedama isn't too labour intensive and is more of an indoor plant thing but, I suppose you're just coming across kind of elitist with your 'advice'.


Initially, I did not want to respond. But this has been bugging me as it is the most nonsensical accusation ever.
First, learn to read.

Your plant is not bonsai. It is a Kokedama (though it's the first time I see a mallsai used in Kokedama). Kokedama techniques are totally different from bonsai techniques. If I say I only know about 名媛直播, there is nothing pedantic about it. It's simply the plain truth.

名媛直播 are grown in shallow trays. Kokedama are plants in a moss-ball. It's not the same. Also, Kokedama is a different art. It is NOT derived from bonsai.

You don't even bother to post the requested close up, still you nag about the reply you get. Can't write it myself, but I'd really like to insert my favorite insult right here about your attitude.

Apologies, I suppose I read your comments the wrong way. I'm not usually the type to call someone out in that way but I decided to do so and anyway it's clear now there was just some misinterpretation going on.
Thanks for providing some more information, you clearly know your stuff.
