I just finished The Secret Life of My Secretary and now I want my very own moss balls. As someone who can’t keep a plant alive, is this a bad idea, beanies?🤔 Please vote in the comments below.👇
Hmmmm. I don’t recall what they were in the show but I had floral-moss covered balls in a wire basket for a while. As they grew older they dried out and flaked mossy gunk all over the table. I wouldn’t do that again.
Ooh! That would annoy me – thanks for the tip! In TSLOMS, Gal Hee replaces the dead impostor fish with moss balls that float when they’re happy (or rather, photosynthesise). Truth be told, I don’t know if there’s enough sun for them in my flat in the winter… BUT they seem low-maintenance (unless I have to pet them like Gal Hee advises in the show. Dr Google says the most I need to do is roll them if they don’t move around enough on their own). I feel like they would survive my black thumb (of death)??
I think they became the butt of some fish cult jokes at the time the drama was airing (which is fair because it was an odd side storyline!), but I genuinely want to see if I can grow them! They look so friendly!😂 Here is a pic of them in the giant fish tank in Min Ik’s office.

Oh, that sounds very different than what I was trying. There’s Google advice! How about that. I guess, go for it?

Also, this is the wiki entry about them: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marimo
I am oddly obsessed!🤣
