How to attach marimo to wood

[tharsis]

Marimo balls will never attach wood/rock so sewing thread will not work. These are algae, not moss. You could use fishing line but that is pretty ugly...so I would definitely agree with coach_z and say crazy glue.

check again. if held in place long enough and kept healthy enough cloadophora aegagropila will grow on wood/surfaces/etc.. some folks have even complained about it just happening.

i agree with coach too.

Really? I find that hard to believe as they are not meant to grow that way, their natural tendency is to be mobile and roll around. Do you have a link to the thread that shows this? How long was it in contact with the object? I would be extremely surprised if you could get a marimo ball to attach to an object let alone before the sewing thread disintegrated.

Just use very thin fishing line and go through the algae so not to be seen from the front.

Some people sell driftwood covered in marimos on aquabid. I used thread, I'll see how it goes.
