Hey guys,

I bought myself a Moss ball about 2 months - 3 months ago and it seems to still be fairly small... How long does it take to get bigger? Does it get bigger?

Also I noticed some long "hairs?" growing out of it. Is that normal?

The moss balls (marimo) are very slow-growing. In the year that I have had mine, I've hardly noticed any growth. The little hairs just sound like the normal algal filaments that come off the marimo.

They are /slowwwww/ growers. But they're fun to look at!

Make sure you name it!
