Chladophona aegagropphila "Marimo Moss Ball"

Sale price$8.75

Marimo, or "Moss Balls" are a rare growth form of Aegagropila linnaei in which the algae grow into large green balls with a velvety appearance. The round shape of the marimo is maintained by gentle wave action that occasionally turns it. The best environment for that are shallow lakes with sandy bottoms. The balls are green all the way round which guarantees that they can photosynthesize no matter which side is turned upwards. Marimo balls grow very slowly. Marimo balls are excellent for aquariums, but they can also be kept successfully in glass bowls, bottles, vases, and a variety of other containers. 

  • Light - Indirect sunlight or light from an aquarium or grow lamp.
  • Watering - Keep submerged in cool water at all times. Change water every two weeks. Clean moss ball when changing water by rinsing and squeezing gently.
