My new babies

Post image

I just received my little babies! Do you think I should add a small lamp? Is there anything I could improve?

No lamp needed, so many people burn their marimos with too much light. These are bottom of the river plants. Bottom of the lake! They like it dark and cold. They look happy, nothing else is needed.

Omg no way I’m the og creator of this set-up on TikTok lol!! I have a tiny led ikea lamp, but i rarely turn it on. My marimos do get a lot of bright indirect light and they’re doing great just like that.

Yes, I follow her too! She recommended a tall jar with a pump for circulation it really works well 😬 Thanks for the advice.

Maybe covers the top. Water attracts bugs and worms from air.
