but they don't pearl even though exposed to ceiling light?

done that lots of times (i have nanos so soaking them on the inside doesn't seem to be a hard problem is it?)

Sorry, previously I was scared of breaking up the marimo if I massaged it too hard but after that i followed your advice and tried massaging it harder and changing the water a few times. When massaging it a slight murky greenish water was emited but after a few massages the water inside it was finally fully clean

I've even read somewhere on the internet where not pearling doesn't always mean it's unhealthy too. But still I haven't seen it pearl since I bought it Maybe need to wait a few weeks for it to recover from the "ride" in the packaging? Hope it can pearl soon

Thanks fyi. Will respond when it starts pearling

Oh, and is dark green better or light green better?
