  • What are Marimo Moss Balls?

    Marimo is Japanese for “seaweed balls” and the little balls are not actually moss, but algae (Aegagropila linnaei) that naturally grow into velvety, soft balls over time.

    Found primarily in freshwater lakes in Japan, Iceland, Scotland, and Estonia, these unique aquatic plants have become popular worldwide as low-maintenance pets.
