Here is a happy family of three Marimo balls! They are parents and a kid:) Each bottle has a different shape and size;) So do the Marimo balls! This assorted feature makes it very interesting and fun! They can be great gifts for your friends or you can keep them as your little treasures. It's fun to observe these mysterious Marimo moss balls, and to shake the bottles gently to spin the Marimo around. This can also help them grow more evenly and round! Our Marimo balls are all very green, fresh and round! High quality guaranteed!
Marimo ball is a live green algae, which naturally forms a cute round shape. It gets its name from Mari meaning "ball" in Japanese and "mo" meaning algae in Japanese. Japanese people consider Marimo ball as a National Treasure and believe that it will bring good luck, so it's very popular in Japan. Also, in Iceland it is believed that if you take good care of Marimo ball, it will “make your wishes come true”.
One very interesting fact about Marimo is that it sinks or floats freely due to its interaction with water and air. So if you see it float sometimes, that means it's just having fun with the nature!
There's almost no maintenance for this Marimo guy. All it needs is to be completely under water and artificial light! You only need to change water once every 1-2 weeks. And it will grow slowly and happily:) It's that easy! Just make sure not to drop your Marimo ball down to the sink when you change water...
**Notice** For the convenience of shipping, the Marimo balls will be in the bottles with little water when you get them, and you will need to fill the bottles up with water.
