Tillandsia usneoides | Spanish moss

Tillandsia usneoides, commonly known as Spanish Moss, is a unique and ethereal air plant that brings soft texture and natural elegance to any space. Its silvery-gray strands grow in cascading layers, creating a delicate, draping effect that’s perfect for hanging displays, terrariums, or accenting other plants.

Growth Habit: Trailing and cascading, forming long, flowing curtains of fine, threadlike foliage.

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light or filtered sunlight. Can also thrive under grow lights indoors.

Water: As an air plant, it needs no soil—simply mist regularly or soak briefly in water every 1–2 weeks, allowing it to dry fully between waterings.

Low-maintenance yet visually striking, Spanish Moss adds a natural, sculptural element to modern interiors, plant walls, or outdoor shaded spaces. Its graceful drape and silvery tones make it a standout in every space.

Typically native to Deep South USA.

Tillandsia gets moisture and nutrients through sunlight, rain and the air.
