First time marimo owner in Southeast Asia

Hihi!!! I just got some marimo (6 babies) but im a bit concerned about the temperature and stuff. Any and all help will be appreciated!!!

I have friends and mutuals who have/had pretty healthy marimo despite this, who I consulted before getting my marimo. They said they kept growing despite being kept in vials and in their offices (hardy little things).

For context, I live in Southeast Asia (avg temps are like 31-32°C during the day, maybe 25-26°C at night). After seeing the actual temperature range required for marimo to survive and thrive, I got concerned (but I don't know if I'm worrying incessantly)

For now I'm keeping them in the fridge to chill since they've shed a tiny bit from the delivery and all that, but I'm wondering if I'd really need to keep them in the fridge for good?

However, I mostly keep the AC on at 24-25°C when I'm in my room (about maybe 7-8 hours in the evening), turning it off for a bit before turning it on again when I sleep (about 5-6 hours in the night).

For now I've put them in a properly cleaned out pudding jar since the jar I wanted to put them in (a 450ml jar, I heard that's more than sufficient apparently..) isnt exactly usable yet (it's a mayonnaise jar.. 😅)

Really trying to figure out how I can let my little guys live comfortably despite the environmental restraints!!!
