Thank you



Thank you too my 1st time buying marimo

Hello all
I recently bought Marimo too^^
It's from Strapya, Marimo Phone Charm
Wondering, I saw many pictures in Internet that Nano Marimo isn't as small as mine that I bought from Strapya (5mm diametre)
and this is my first time I owned Marimo >.<

Wondering is Marimo 5mm size like mine need more special care? since it's reaaally small
yesterday It's photosynthes-ing..then today it didn't, so I try to change the water, and push it with my finger a little on tissue so the old water getting out, then it starts Photosynthes-ing (pearling) again

Why It didn't photosynthes-ing before? O_o" do I need to press it to let the water out everyday so It can photosynthesis?

thanks alot!

The name of "Nano Marimo" was created by a pioneer seller and member of Lowyat here named Lee Yung. Of course if you surf around here you'll see lots of others name like LY, Lyong, LeeY... etc but the person i'm referring to is Lee Yung. The Nano size given for this tiny fella range from 10mm - 15mm. Yours is not nano, it simply just a decorative hp strap, just avoid direct sunlight. There isn't need of any special care for particular sizes if what you have is a genuine one. The photosynthesis only happens if you wash and squeeze it. Generally it's just an algae plant so it won't move/float or photosynthesis by itself.

but from what i observed...the so call photosynthesis after washing is actually not more than the air bubbles trapped inside the marimo.
Im sure that everyone might have squished the marimo abit to wash out the old/dirty water..but then when we do that,theres some space/air in it which forms air bubbles when we put them back into the water..

So,im not sure if they still photosynthesis or not..maybe they do,but the oxygen formed as a result from it is too small for our naked eye to spot them..

If no photosynthesis how it can maintain it's greenish color leh? Anyway i'm not expert but since it only grow so little per year so i can only say its process of photosynthesis is slower than normal plant as it doesn't need much sun light. Mine i placed in the bathroom most of the time and it were so so green like in Dark Greenish color so healthy.
So it's good to hear from a marimo fan here that concern about their marimo but as long as they are healthy you no need to concern about what to see wif naked eye lah hehe

thank you for the reply
well, I hope mine is genuine~ since the strap from strapya is so famous...
I see that when there is light, little marimo starts its pearling, then when I move the bottle to the darker places where there is no light, it starts sinking..
I really hope that it's genuine >.<"

IMHO, you can only see the photosynthesis after-effect, O2 being released in the water if your water is fully saturated with O2 and CO2 gas.

what is it look like?

Day 2, I change the water (since I got it in the evening), washed it, then it started photosynthesis in the morning

ewwww... y ur marimo look like very yellowish in the Day 3 photo????? mine marimos all dark green n healthy healthy.... yellowish meaning already sick right???

i read from other site about the grade A and B marimo, they say the facebook seller is a cheapo and money sucker..... the grades are just to cheat beginner marimo owners according to what they say.... guess u gotta be careful when the seller say their marimo are grade A marimo.. RM80 for Nano nehhh.......such a money suckerr seller....... (a facebook seller konon... more like scammer)..... if want get marimo u better buy from our lowyat dai ghor marimo seller leeyung.... sure no regrets.....

mine also abit yellowish on the outside...Been like that since the first few days...
Duno what happen..
Sunlight?

ur hse too hot for ur ma lat mous???? me 24/7 on aircon n fan for my babies....... the hot weather r killing!!!

Yeah, Meagan was right it could be the sunlight they kenot tahan lah . Try not to place direct sunlight area.

i place it on the table beside my window...
Is it sunlight problem?

I on aircond every nite...is that enough?

Me not expert but based on my little experience when it turn alittle lemon green it is better to masuk peti sejuk (not the freeze compartment ok?) . Masuk Nite take out morning, see it turn abit greener or not. I think arh, as a beginner its better to own a thermometer so you can be cautious of temperature changes. When exceed 28 degree celcius just masuk 1 or 2 ice cube in your marimo bottle. Hope tis help.

hmm...hard for me to keep it cold...im putting my marimo in a bottle at the moment..quite hard for me to keep it below 28 degree..think the only way is to put in fridge or put ice cubes into the bottle...

theres alot of alternatives, using DIY DC or AC fans, using factory made cooling fans for aquariums, using chiller and last but not least, using air-cond.
