Some photos of my little workshop space today. I’m still very much in the process of organizing, hanging and setting things up, but it’s functional and cozy. Everything that I need to make wabi balls, plant them, grow them out, and use them to create thriving ecosystems- is all within arms reach. Half of the rack also holds trays where I’m growing out aquatic, terrarium plants, and mosses.

My standard tool kit consists of little scissors, tweezers, string, and a spray bottle. That’s what I use for planting and trimming. I also have a notebook where I write my various wabi ball soil recipes, as well as planting dates and any special notes. I have LOTS of substrates, rocks, driftwood, and a variety of containers on the shelves and tucked away all over the place.

The last photo is of a set of wabis that I worked on today…These were planted threeish weeks ago and were growing out all together in about an inch of water inside a big whitish storage tub (a method which worked surprisingly well!). 🌿💧☀️🌱

This beauty is now up on Etsy! It’s quite large, about 4.5 inches across. It can be used as a centerpiece for an aquarium or terrarium, or, it can be used to plant the whole substrate. Simply place it on some high quality aquarium soil if you’d like for the plants to not just be confined to the ball- and they will grow wild and beautiful. I’m crazy about this one! It has totally exceeded my expectations. Its one of the largest wabi kusa balls that I’ve planted, and ALL of the plants look fantastic and the ball is very well balanced with a “scaped” look.

“Meadows.” This little tank was designed with the idea of looking like an underwater meadow. It’s in its early stages and I’m excited to watch it grow. Also, I just really love the look of grasses- both underwater and out of water. Luckily there are a lot of grass-like plants that grow well both underwater and in transitional environments. Juncus repens, Eleocharis species and Utricularia graminifolia (actually a carnivorous plant), are three of my current favorites that I’ve been working with a lot. This tank has J. repens and Eleocharis. tank

I call this one, “A moment by the stream.” If you love the look of aquariums and terrariums planted with living plants but don’t know where to start or have limited space, then these wabi kusa planted moss ball aquariums are the perfect solution! Each one is a unique piece of nature art that comes with everything you see in the photo. Each wabi kusa ball is lushly planted with multiple plant species that I specifically selected for their beauty and ease of keeping. This all ships to you in a box, you put it together, add water and voila! A little slice of nature for your home or office! 🌱❤️🌿 Now available in my Etsy shop.
