Hi guys,
I'm new here,
I was wondering,
I bought these marimos from Ebay and it traveled from asia to belgium.
I think these marimos are strange looking, they seem to have a diffrent texture then the pictures on this topic and they are not that green, they are more yellowish.
Are these real marrimos?
Are they maybe sick or something?
Thanks !

Yes, I think you are right. These marimos do look sick to me. I'm not really an expert on marimos, but perhaps you could try a fridge spa or putting a little bit of salt in their water. Also, do not give them direct sunlight, ever.

Tnx for your fast reply
How long should they be in the fridge? (it's very dark in there)
Does it matter how much water they have in there?
Thanks!

You are welcome! I haven't actually used the fridge spa yet, but a lot of people use it as a way of curing sick marimos. I think that one or two days would be best- marimos are capable of going without sun for longer periods of time, but you don't want to freeze them to death. I think the water level you had in the pictures should be good. Any water level should be fine, you just need a good amount of water in there, enough to make sure it won't freeze too quickly. Happy to help! Good luck with your marimos, hope they get better soon!  smile.gif
