Overview

Marimo (Aegagropila linnaei) is a fascinating freshwater algae that naturally forms soft, velvety green spheres. Displayed in a stylish 10cm glass container, this living aquatic arrangement brings a calm, contemporary touch to desks, shelves and tabletops while requiring very little day-to-day care.

Unlike traditional houseplants, Marimo lives entirely in water. Its distinctive spherical shape and rich green colour make it an attractive feature for modern interiors, while its slow growth means it remains neat and manageable for many years with simple maintenance.

Why We Love It

• An unusual living display unlike traditional houseplants.
• Requires only occasional water changes.
• Compact size suits desks, shelves and smaller spaces.
• Slow-growing and exceptionally long-lived when well cared for.
• A stylish addition to contemporary interiors.

Growing Guide

Light

Place in bright, indirect light or a naturally well-lit room. Avoid prolonged direct sunlight, which can encourage algae growth in the container and may damage the Marimo.

Watering

Keep the Marimo fully submerged in clean, fresh water. Replace the water every one to two weeks, or sooner if it becomes cloudy. Use cool water rather than warm.

Container Care

Gently roll the Marimo between your hands after each water change to help maintain its natural round shape before returning it to the glass container.

Temperature

Keep in a cool indoor environment away from radiators and other heat sources. Avoid exposing the arrangement to freezing temperatures or excessive summer heat.

Routine Care

Rinse the Marimo occasionally in fresh water to remove debris. If the ball begins to float after a water change, gently squeeze out trapped air before placing it back into the container.

Perfect For

• Desks and home offices.
• Coffee tables and shelving.
• Contemporary interior décor.
• Small apartments and compact living spaces.
• Thoughtful, easy-care gifts.

Good to Know

Marimo is a living freshwater algae rather than a moss. Its growth is extremely slow, so noticeable size changes occur gradually over many years.
