thanks gav. my man

get pranked

nothing really, at least not that i've noticed

uuhh as far as decorations go, it could really be any solid object that is easy for you to clean and doesn’t have any paint (etc.) that might come off in the water. marimos are cool to own because they are pretty simple to take care of (you can’t overwater them!), and can live for decades.

surprisingly no

well i mean i saw it was down to 3:33 after editing a lot of parts so then i was like, i should stop working on this hoe and just post it bc it was meant to be

i love you son

thank u earl <3

I came for the weird eye measuring/naran ratan, but stuck around for moss balls and wigs

amen brother

How's the universe feelin?

thank u!

yes, they can be refrigerated! marimos thrive in colder water. i would do it for a day or two at most, maybe once a month? even if you live in a warmer area, marimos will be fine unless their water temp consistently reaches over 80 degrees fahrenheit.

I live in a place where it’s like 30 degrees Celsius (86 Fahrenheit) and I refrigerate them every day for up to an hour and a half, is that ok?

Problem is, I don’t even know if they’re real! 😂 They just look like tiny balls of thread, and sometimes you can see the tiny individual strands

@@hedras924 i heard a story about someone’s marimos just being ping pong balls covered in peat moss, but who knows if that’s actually a widespread thing (fingers crossed it isn’t lol)

@@anni_ haha thanks anni

;)

well like i guess it is to just get out the dirt and old water out of the plant

if you have them in a plain container like mine, you probably don’t need to clean them as frequently as you would if they were in a fish tank. marimos can be bogged down with dirt/hostile algae in that kind of environment. even in my container they grow a sort of sludge film after not being rinsed for a while. squeezing the marimo during the washing process also helps to return them to a spherical shape when they get deformed.

i’m not quite sure how to prevent them from being there upon purchase? i got all of my marimos from petsmart - i would advise buying them elsewhere if it’s a concern. in my cleaning sessions since this video i haven’t noticed any more creatures, so no worries if you have a stowaway or two.

@@anni_ ok! Thank you mine live in a fish tank so I was a bit concerned 😂 thank you though

@@kayskritters131 you can do a dip prior to adding them. In alum, aquarium salt or other solutions. It’ll be fine.

i like to wipe off tank decorations/rocks while i take out the marimos - however i wouldn’t say it’s necessary. marimos seem to keep the water/surrounding objects pretty clean.

@@anni_ ok thank you

i’m glad you found it useful!

good

thank you, my leige

thank u my friend

i wouldn’t expect all moss balls to have creatures on them. i didn’t even know they were there until i checked the water residue. it’s kind of gross, but the little creatures just coexisted with the marimos and didn’t actually hurt them it seems. i haven’t found any more of them since!

as i’m rereading, i should add that parasites are more of a concern if you keep your marimos in a tank with other plants and/or fish. i would look up “quarantining moss balls” for more info.

they all came together! petsmart sells 4/3 of them for about $8

bundles of lavender from our old garden!

i doesn’t do anything for better or worse it’s just in there as a little decoration

@@parryokay i would def recommend, marimos are easy to take care of and beneficial to their surroundings. :0
