Marimo moss balls are not truly moss, but species of freshwater green algae! These aquatic plants are charming and known as charms of good luck and everlasting love.
Fun Fact: Marimo comes from a Japanese word loosely translated as “water plant that's kind of like a bouncy ball.”
The Myth: Marimo moss balls are attached to the Japanese legend of two lovers who fell in love but had their love forbidden. The lovers then jumped into the waters of Lake Akon and their hearts turned into Marimo moss balls.
Marimos are perfect additions to freshwater aquariums or any glass container. Rotate periodically to maintain spherical shape. Your large moss ball comes moist in a plastic bag, place in water immediately after arrival.
