k2aqua 5 Marimo Moss Balls – Fresh Live Aquarium Plants

You will receive 5 Marimo moss balls, each with a diameter of approximately 2-3 cm. These live aquatic plants are suitable for both cold water and tropical aquariums, as well as ponds. In Japan, Marimo are highly regarded as symbols of everlasting love and are often kept in glass containers for good luck. They require minimal maintenance, needing a water change only once every 2 weeks. Each Marimo grows at a rate of about 5 mm per year, and a large Marimo can be approximately 7 years old.
Marimo moss balls do not contribute to algae problems; in fact, they help improve water quality by absorbing toxic substances like nitrites, nitrates, ammonia, and phosphates. They thrive in various lighting conditions and do not require carbon dioxide injection for healthy growth. If a Marimo turns brown, gently squeeze it in a separate container of water every 6-8 weeks to restore its green colour, usually within a month when provided with proper light.
This versatile plant can be used in any shape of vessel, making it an ideal addition to aquariums, aquascapes, or terrariums.
