Spanish Moss

Tillandsia Usneioides

  • Product Info

    Tillandsia usneoides, commonly known as Spanish moss, is an epiphytic air plant native to the Americas. It grows in long, trailing strands and absorbs moisture and nutrients from the air. It thrives in bright, indirect light with good air circulation and prefers high humidity. Regular misting or soaking is needed, especially in dry conditions. It does not require soil and can be draped over trees, wires, or structures.

  • Care guide:

    Watering: Mist frequently or soak in water for 15–30 minutes once a week, increasing in dry conditions. Ensure it dries completely to prevent rot.

    Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; can tolerate some direct sun but avoid harsh afternoon rays.

    Air circulation: Needs good airflow to stay healthy and prevent moisture buildup.

    Humidity: Thrives in high humidity; may need extra misting in dry environments.

    Fertilizer: Feed monthly with a diluted bromeliad or air plant fertilizer.
