CARE INSTRUCTIONS

They require little by way of maintenance. Change the water every two weeks - just use tap water - and your Moss Ball will remove the impurities from the water and produce oxygen bubbles.

To clean the Moss Balls themselves, you simply remove them from the jar and gently squeeze under running water, as you would a sponge and then pop them back in.
