used to play this grasshead years ago, kinda cute but too bad it's not a long lasting hobby

my interest to Marimo also affected by my chill, cave-like environment... living in a small room with less sunshine penetrates my room

that will be the best place for marimo! haha, marimo hardly die and the life span is superb long

successfully poison my friend to get involve with the marimo

anyone mind to share more pics of Marimo?

Posting this on behalf of decemberRose

how does the moss ball deals with our temperature?

Here's mine. Keeping it in slight harder water and temperature of 28C. Have more than 30 in different sizes.

hahaha... it was my fault.. so sry for making u wait.. looking forward to deal with u agn next time.. so sry agn ya..

here's mine..among other thing inside my aquarium...the shrimp loved them

wah these look so fluffy.... how do u tell if they are not well/dying? what is their average lifespan?

oh hey guys
i've got 2 giant and 4 nano marimo put me in da list yah
thx to leeyung, good seller + recommended

In fact marimo is a kind of aquatic plant, therefore, when they are dying, similar symptoms can be observed (such as brownish/blackish color, turning color to brown/yellow or not green etc), the largest marimo I saw is about 95cm (need 2 adult to hold) and marimo grows 0.5mm per year according to their species growth rate, what I can conclude regarding the average lifespan is, definitely longer than human LoL

then what do u do when u no longer wanna care for marimo anymore or it grows too big to be contained comfortably in aquarium (not that it will happen often though judging by its growth rate)?
is it only people with aquarium fish or other aquatic creatures only get marimo? or can just put it as deco?

the growth rate of marimo in aquatic plant is considered very slow, therefore the case you mentioned is difficult (nearly impossible) to happen (grow too big). Marimo can either for aquatic creatures for your aquarium or either for deco just like your plant in your garden, what I am doing now is I am having several marimos in my house aquarium meanwhile in my office I use a bottle to keep the marimo infront of my monitor

how bout those people that just buy for fun then after few years dont want the marimo already? or is it a super new hobby that these sort of thing not yet happen?

haha, when you dont want the marimo d, how you treat it is up to you haha, give your frend or throw to longkang perhaps? hahahaha this hobby is not new already, I m dealing with this since 2005

hahah throw to longkang poor marimo

wao, 2005.... its my 1st time reading bout them....
