Marimo Moss isn’t really a moss, it is a phenomenon of algae in a ball shape from the inside out! This naturally grows in freshwater lakes in Scotland, Estonia, Iceland, Japan and Australia.

They are fun to make, beautiful to look at and easy to maintain. We always keep a selection of our bio active terrariums for sale in our Aberdeen shop, and very soon our popular terrarium kits will make a return to our online shop.
