Home / Our Story
Twenty years among plants, one art form that changed everything.
The story of a Brazilian botanist, a Japanese tradition, and a new home in Los Angeles.
Origins
Raised among forests
Our founder grew up surrounded by Brazil’s exotic flora — an early, hands-on education in how plants grow, breathe, and thrive without ever needing to be told.
Discovery
Falling for kokedama
Twenty-plus years of working with plants eventually led to kokedama, the Japanese practice of wrapping a plant’s roots in a sphere of moss and soil. No pot. No boundary. Just a living form you can hold.
Los Angeles
A ritual for a city in motion
Los Angeles moves fast — but its people are craving stillness. Kokedama of Love exists to bring a small, tactile piece of nature into apartments, studios, and offices across the city.
Today
Ten forms, one philosophy
Today the collection spans ten kokedama varieties, each suited to a different light, a different space, a different kind of person — bound by the same idea: nature, in your hands, every day.
In the Founder’s Words
“I didn’t set out to sell plants. I wanted to give people in Los Angeles the same feeling I had growing up — that nature is never far, even when it’s just a sphere of moss on your desk.”
Founder, Kokedama of Love
