Miniature Marimo Moss Ball Terrarium

Description

Marimo is a rare growth form of Aegagropila
linnaei
in which the algae grow into large green balls with a velvety appearance. The species can be found in a number of lakes and rivers in Japan and Northern Europe. Colonies of
marimo
balls are known to form in Japan and Iceland.
Included are the container, 1/4"
marimo
moss ball, non-toxic gravel, sea shell, and a dried natural red sea fan.
Care is simple: Rinse the contents and container once a week and replace the filtered water. It is ok if your
marimo
floats after this process. This is common and caused by air bubbles. To help maintain the round shape, gently swirl the container to move the
marimo
to a different side once a week. Filtered sun is alright, but do not place
marimo
in direct sunlight.
