Kokedama appears to be how the cool houseplants are hanging these days. This form of planting means you don't need a pot – instead, the plant's roots are wrapped in a ball of moss.

The benefit is that when you hang up your plant, the moss becomes an additional attractive feature. The one drawback, however, is that watering it can be a little trickier.
