in fact not only marimo will perform photosynthesis via fluorescent light All plants will do! Photosynthesis uses the energy from light (scientifically named as Photon) and carbon dioxide to produce the plant's fruit + waste (in the form of oxygen)

you can put live plants indoors but it is not recommended this is because the photosynthesis rate for plant is pretty low with fluorescent as light source and therefore the plants will consume the oxygen in ur indoor area (example ur living room) rather than performing photosynthesis effectively, but for marimos, they are different with grounded plant as the demand of light source to perform photosynthesis is very low. Did I clear your doubt or increase? LoL

I dont think this will affect you are using normal pipe water to siram your plant as well right? haha we dont need any anti chlorine for the water as the chlorine only kill fish but not aquatic plant

the dirt is normal one no worries

yes, this is good for marimo, another way is you can put your whole bottle into fridge (not the freezer) for 24 hours

Sure! Lets contact in the PM Welcome to Marimo Thread!

this is nice, suggest you to put 500g till 1kg of coral stone, it will be nice buy a small hanging filter and you will find out that the marimo is rolling when water pumping, nice to see hahaha, best fish for marimo so far I felt is Red Nose Tetra + Zebra Danio, because they are hardly mati

woops, I am here, show us the photo of dirt perhaps? usually marimo got dirt outside and inside one, for outside dirt, you can gently rub them and roll them to clean the outside dirt and for inside one you have to squeeze the marimo under running pipe water, so that u squeeze out the dirt water and fresh one masuk etc... until you see no more dirt water wakakaka, marimo cute ler, everytime after u clean them then it iwll have bubbles around one

no worries for all, marimo doesnt float and no bubbles didnt mean that it is not healthy, sometimes water level too low also do not make the marimo float, most of the time marimo will in sink condition unless you perform water change and clean the dirt inside marimos. The photosynthesis of marimo do product oxygen but our "eyes" sometime cant view the tiny oxygen bubbles produced by them. as long as the color of marimo is green then it is fine relax

my 2 cents, bottles best for office/infront of PC, aquarium/tank nice for landscaping feel, wakakaka bro, guaranteed you will receive it tomorrow Stay Tune!

Giant Marimos and Nano Marimos are going to meet their owners soon! Are you one of the owners?

Marimo reproduce themself naturally, when you notice there is a "lump" appears on marimo, then it is the "son" of the marimo. but this is typically happening on the giant marimo

Marimo in size of 3CM considered very large already, btw why deceiving ler? I got put rulers + other object for size comparison ler

For example

This is the nano with ruler as benchmark for size


You may get to know the size of Giant marimo via the size comparison of the fishes, typical neon tetra at least 1.5cm+-(from head to tail)


for the keychain thingy, if you regularly change the water then reshape them when washing, then no problem d.

The water volume you mentioned fine enough for them to survive but hard to see them float

Yupe! you can, just the water will have some weird smell after some time

Yes, it is from that origin, the statement claimed that regarding the grow of nice sphere shape is somehow correct, the temperature condition over there catalyst the growth of marimo and therefore they have a better shape but this doesnt mean if you have your marimo over here, it will not grow into a nice shape. You have to pay more effort on them,like regular water change and massage them to roll them in a nice shape, put them into fridge once a month


Most the the question asked in some post in fact already answered in this post, recommended to all read through the thread before post any question
