Common Moss Ball Problems (That Moss411 Can Detect)

You might be surprised how many tiny things can go wrong with a moss ball. Thankfully, most are fixable. Here's what our Moss Ball Health Checker can spot and what it means.

Yellowing Moss

If your moss ball is turning yellow, it could be due to poor light exposure or dirty water. The app helps detect the severity by checking color saturation and evenness. Curious why your moss ball is turning yellow? Read this quick guide to understand the cause.

Moss Ball Turning Brown

Brown moss balls may be dealing with decaying outer layers. It’s usually a sign of stress or lack of rotation. Moss411 identifies texture breakdown in your photo. If your moss ball is browning, check this article for possible reasons.

Black Spots on Marimo

Mold is rare but dangerous. It usually appears as a fuzzy buildup. Our app catches this fast before it spreads.

White Fuzz on Moss Ball

This often shows up when bacteria start to grow on the surface. Moss411 flags this and recommends safe cleaning steps.
