Marimo , my Japanese Moss Ball

Finally ....my Marimo s have arrived !! Yippie !!
Brought these babies from a seller which I found on Mudah.my 
He is prob the cheapest seller I found online .... cost RM 7/ball . Due to budget constraint , I choose the smallest and cheapest balls , which is only around 1 cm each.

This is the website to the seller for those interested to purchase them : Okeanos E-Aqua



Damm pathetic ... look so small in the large fish bowl

According to google , these babies can only grow 5mm diameter/ year . The oldest Marimo is around 95cm , aged 200 years old .
Marcus was horrified when i told him that ...he was like ...u know how much is 5mm ?? 
DUH!!! i know ....but what to do ...budget constrain ma .  Never mind , I can pass down to my grand children and they can pass down to their grand children and so forth . 

 Example of nice Marimo Terrrarium sold on Etsy 

Japanese believe that Marimo will bring good luck and see it as a symbol of everylasting love.
It also said that taking excellent care of your pet will makes your wishes come true.
