All About Moss and Tumble
Moss and Tumble is bringing the joy of adorable moss ball and tumbleweed pet plants to everyone!
What is a pet plant?
Pet plants are adorable plants that can be accessorized, personalized, are easy to care for, and brings you joy! Pet plants can be ideal for small children, students in dorms who cannot keep a pet, those who are too busy to care for an animal, or those with homes without much natural light. They are also ideal for anyone who loves cute things!
What are Marimo Moss Balls?
Scientifically known as Aegagropila linnaei, these captivating plants have a tale as fascinating as their appearance. While we call them moss, they are actually not moss at all, but a type of aquatic algae! When the algae is tumbled around by the waters, it forms into a ball and continues to grow outward in a round shape.
Nearly impossible to kill, moss balls are adorable, fuzzy aquatic plants wearing hats! They have their own styles and personalities, and are extremely easy to care for. They come with everything you need to care for them including a glass container, aquarium rocks, its adorable hats and accessories, a set up guide and tips, and tweezers to dress your moss ball perfectly!
What's the story behind Marimo?
🎌Tatsuhiko Kawakami, a Japanese botanist, bestowed upon them the name "marimo" in 1898, blending "mari" for a bouncy play ball and "mo" for water plants. They are found naturally in Japan, but have alos been found in Iceland, Scotland, Estonia, and as far as Australia in 2014.
Marimo have gained popularity as delightful companions in homes and offices. Unlike traditional houseplants, marimo thrive underwater. Caring for them is a breeze and they require very little maintenance.
In Japanese culture, gifting or owning a large family moss ball is considered prestigious due to their long lifespan, reaching up to 200 years in some cases. The legendary love story associated with marimo adds sentimental value, making these plants not just aesthetically pleasing but also imbued with a sense of enduring love and prosperity.
What are Tumbleweeds?
Our tumbleweed pets are even easier to care for, as they are not alive! You know those giant tumbleweeds that blow across the lonely, scorching midwest of America? Well, these are adorable, tiny versions of them! Our tumbleweeds are hand-crafted using naturally sourced, dried organic plant material, and lovingly woven into miniature tumbleweeds. They require no water, light, or cleaning. They come with adorable hats and accessories, just like our moss balls!
