Comprehensive Marimo Care Instructions:

Initial Setup:

  1. Fill your swing-top bottle with room-temperature, dechlorinated water (leave tap water out for 24+ hours)
  2. Use tweezers to gently place your chosen gemstones on the bottom
  3. Carefully add your Marimo using the tweezers - it will naturally find its preferred floating level
  4. Leave about 1 inch of air space at the top, then secure the swing-top lid

Daily Care:

  • Light: Place in bright, indirect light (near a window but not in direct sun)
  • Temperature: Maintain room temperature between 65-78°F
  • Observation: Enjoy watching your Marimo’s gentle movements and color changes

Weekly Maintenance:

  • Movement: Gently swirl the bottle to help your Marimo roll and maintain its round shape
  • Shape Check: If your Marimo becomes flat, gently squeeze it underwater to release trapped air
  • Cleaning: Wipe the exterior glass with a soft cloth for crystal clarity

Bi-Weekly Refresh:

  • Water Change: Replace all water with fresh, dechlorinated water
  • Gemstone Care: Use tweezers to lift and rinse gemstones under cool water if needed
  • Bottle Cleaning: Rinse the bottle thoroughly before refilling

Monthly TLC:

  • Deep Cleaning: Remove your Marimo and gently roll it between your palms underwater to maintain perfect spherical shape
  • Health Check: Healthy Marimos are vibrant green and maintain their round form
  • Gemstone Arrangement: Adjust stone placement if desired using your tweezers

Seasonal Adjustments:

  • Summer: May need slightly more frequent water changes due to warmth
  • Winter: Growth slows naturally - this is completely normal and healthy
  • Year-Round: Your Marimo will grow about 5mm per year with proper care

Signs of a Thriving Ecosystem:

  • Vibrant, rich green color
  • Maintains spherical shape
  • Gentle floating or rolling movement
  • Clear water between changes
  • Visible tiny bubbles occasionally (oxygen production)

Troubleshooting:

  • Brown spots: Usually means too much direct sunlight - move to indirect light
  • Floating constantly: Gently squeeze underwater to release excess air
  • Losing shape: More frequent gentle rolling will help restore roundness

With proper care, your Custom Marimo Kit will provide decades of natural beauty, healing energy, and peaceful companionship. Your living ecosystem will slowly evolve and grow, creating an ever-changing masterpiece that reflects your personal journey.

Frequently answered questions

How does one care for an algae ball?

Care instructions are provided with your order, but in short, this is an easy plant for anyone to take care of. They prefer chilly water over hot, enjoy gentle swirls, indirect sunlight (they eat via photosynthesis), and water changes every 1-2 weeks.

Currently, what are the Marimo Mates doing?

Pre-adoption, Marimo Mates float around (or just sit there) with their brothers and sisters. Kept in just the right temperature water with indirect light, singing, and gentle swirling though out the day. Our Japanese Algae Balls are only removed from their routinely cleaned aquariums, just before heading off on their big adventure.
