I just bought 2 marimo moss balls and I was wondering are they real. They feel kinda spongy. I tried tearing one of it a little but I can't bear to do it. Will my marimo moss ball recover from that little tear? Will it be okay?
Here are the pictures of the marimo.
They appear to be real, they are simply algae so yes it will recover from the tear. As they grow you can continue to roll them to help it repair itself.
