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

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....
hahaha, nvm, no experience needed to take care of marimo, just change water once per two weeks then will do already, Marimo a bit different with other moss such as Java Moss as Marimo is a kind of more "Solid" and somehow they look more CUTE LoL
Dad took my camera jor....So i took the pic by using my phone hope you all can see it. 1st Pic : You can see the size between giant and nano 2nd Pic : Giant and nano from my another tank 3rd Pic : That how i place them
Sorry for my noob skill Hope you all dont mind
eh bro, ur nano seems like grow bigger d, I remember the day I shipped out to you, no so large size one eh~
received mine....the nano, masuk bottle, regretted cos i sumbat that fella in, now cant come out jor T_T
haha, no worries, this is the common issue from my buyer, there are 3 ways to get the marimo out, 1st fill it full of water then hardly shake downward to make the fella out, 2nd, use cotton wool to absorb as much as possible the water and the marimo will shrink in size when dry up, then you can easily take it out, 3rd way is the easiest and fastest way, break the bottle, since it is free
i can see my big marimo its breathing...^^ p/s : no bottles yet, cos working till 10pm, no time go n buy yet..when got free time, then go buy..now inside tupperware ^^
it will change to brownish/blackish if the marimo dead, btw why u wan to cucuk the marimo? BBQ? nice photos! many oxygen bubbles producing by the marimo! hahahaa
