Tranquil Plants are bringing the inspirational and health benefits of plants back into our world by working with Kokedama. Stefan Thomas, Tranquil Plants’ professional ‘plant whisperer’, has a personal passion unlike anyone else after being inspired by botanical decor when his father built 13 tropical houses in Australia. He is an expert in the Japanese art form of Kokedama, and his talks are beautifully illustrated with sparkling inspiration, intriguing history and horticultural allure.
When Stefan started his journey to founding Tranquil Plants, he was inspired by the fact that Kokedama had no pots but still looked beautiful and functioned just as well, if not better, than plants with pots.
The more he started to play around with the idea, making moss balls and watering them in his bathtub, the more he realised how easy they were to look after. He discovered that, unlike normal houseplants, Kokedama have an in-built barometer to test whether they need watering: simply lift your plant. If it’s light, it’s ready to water! Stefan now shares his passion with the world.
