andy answered already ahha


means we can rare it in a bottle with nothing else i.e. set up a tank for it?
If really can I might interested to get one as deco
but I need to know how to take care this cute creature before I decided to get one

Marimo require very little maintenance only.
Change the water every week so they can absorb some minerals from the water and no direct sunlight on them.Artificial sunlight is more than enough for them.The only thing u have to take note is the lower the temp the greener they are .Sometime the tank temp up to 30c i put 1 or 2 piece of ice to cool them down,sound crazy but i really do that

Taking care of marimo is easy. Just change the water once every 2 weeks or month and you're good to go. Basically the main thing is that we shouldn't let direct sunlight hitting on the marimo and that is.

Another picture of my marimo.

hurray! we are getting more Marimo Experts over here! Nice work

how does it feel when touching/holding them? ticklish?

I might get some from you. Just wait for my PM


btw, Can someone post a clear pictures between the Giant and Nano marimo? I'm interested to get nano cause it's small and cute but the promotion offer by leeyung sounds interesting

When we change the water, can we scoop the marimo out with our bare hand? sorry if I ask too much

Like sponge for me.Get 1 then u can feel it
I going to gift one of my giant to my love 1

hahaha.... u also interested.... i was looking through the promotions too.... would have gotten in an impulse purchase if the nano sized ones have promotion....

lol we have same thinking in mind
I like the bottle use for nano.. it really does make it seems so cute inside


Do we need to put some crystal rock as what normal tank have? or just marimo n water is enough?

haha, you may refer to the pic below, special credited to DecemberRose as he provide this photo one after purchased the marimos from me



as you can see the large one is giant and the small one is nano

when we change the water, you can massage massage the marimo just like a sponge, squeeze out the dirt water like you wash a sponge, and rub rub them, this thread is created for the purpose of sharing marimo experience, therefore just ask any question if you dont understand, no need sorry one ba

This pic i took bit blur...Tonight i will take it again wif camera to poison u all

I shall wait for the picture then!!

eh nicole, how bout we each get 1 giant n 1 nano? lol though I think I'm more interested in getting cute nano
maybe its time for me to go out hunt for nice bottle before really getting one haha

I am recommending you try to search the bottle in daiso, quite nice sharp for marimo n budget

or 1 giant surrounded by few nano.... or 1 nano surrounded by few giant....

but since i've never been exposed to marimo's before, i'm finding the price quite steep for a moss.... no meaning of offence to marimo lovers though, i like them too....
