Beware of fake marimo moss balls!
Be aware if you purchase Marimo Moss Balls. There are a lot of untrustworthy sellers out there. Notice my photo. ……….Looking closely you can see that the large, dark balls aren’t exactly round, which is natural. I even trimmed off some growth to enhance the spherical shape. ……….On the other hand I got the small, light green balls from a bad source. They are far too perfect in shape and there are no stray delicate strings of moss that start to extend off of the main plant. They are also much more firm. ………. Apparently some sellers use a felt, or other material, ball to form the structure and then just attach moss to the outside of the sphere. So if the balls are too regular, pass them by! 🟢🟢🟢 #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #Marimo

@EdmundG Nothing fancy, just a clear glass container that holds water. They must be completely submerged. I’ve seen them in small bottles with corks, dinner glasses, wine glasses, etc. I have mine a in square vase that I rarely used. You can hit a dollar store and you’re bound to find something you can use.
@Plantmomma3 They’re beautiful in aquariums and fish love to nibble on them. In fact, sometimes the balls disappear when hungry fish decide to have a midnight snack! 😂
@ESylvanus I’ve heard of that also. I don’t understand why people can’t just be nice to each other and I never will. It even takes less energy that being ugly. smh We manage it on Greg quite well. ❤️❤️❤️
Wow that’s messed up. Always scammers out there. I deal with horrible scams everyday at work. Some ruin peoples lives. So this is good info to know. I haven’t seen this scam before. It’s like they wrapped marbles in felt or something. Definitely looks fake when compared side by side. Thanks for warning everyone
@CoolNoblefir So cute. All that’s necessary is being able to change the water every other week so almost anything goes! 😁
@NMazon Thank you. ❤️
