Here are the essential care tips for keeping a marimo moss ball healthy:

Water: Use dechlorinated water - either filtered, distilled, or tap water that’s been left out for 24 hours to let chlorine evaporate. Change the water every 1-2 weeks.

Light: Keep in low to moderate indirect light. Direct sunlight will harm them, and they actually prefer dimmer conditions than most aquatic plants.

Temperature: Room temperature is perfect, ideally between 65-78°F. They prefer cooler water and can handle temperatures down to around 60°F.

Movement: Gently roll or rotate your marimo every few days to help maintain its round shape and ensure all sides get light. In nature, they roll around with water currents.

Cleaning: If the water gets cloudy or the marimo feels slimy, rinse it gently under cool running water and squeeze it lightly to clean it.

Container: Any clean glass container works - no need for special equipment. Make sure it’s large enough that the marimo isn’t cramped.

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.
