Tillandsia usneoides - Spanish Moss

Spanish Moss (Tillandsia usneoides) 🌿

A striking variety of airplant that’s as low-maintenance as it is unique. Spanish Moss grows in cascading strands of silver-green foliage, perfect for hanging displays, trailing planters, or adding texture to your urban jungle.

Extremely easy to care for, it thrives without soil and only asks for the occasional mist or soak to keep it fresh.

Plant Care

• Light: Bright, filtered light is best. Avoid harsh direct sun.
• Watering: Mist regularly, or give an occasional soak. In dry indoor air, submerge for 2–3 hours every two weeks. In shaded homes or cooler conditions, mist once or twice a week in summer and once a month in winter.
• Soil: Never plant in soil — airplants take in water and nutrients through their leaves.
• Temperature: Protect from frost and cold drafts.

Good to Know

• Easy-Care: Ideal for beginners.

• Origin: Native to the Americas, from the US South to Argentina.
