Fresh Florida Live Spanish Moss – 1 Gallon Air Plant for Florist & Craft Use

Bring a touch of the South to your home or garden with this fresh Florida live Spanish Moss. Known botanically as Tillandsia usneoides, this air plant is prized for its delicate, cascading gray-green strands that create a soft, natural texture. It is a favorite among florists and crafters for adding a rustic, ethereal quality to arrangements, wreaths, and terrariums. In the garden, it can be draped over branches or used as a natural mulch, where it adds visual interest and a sense of age.

Spanish moss is an epiphyte, meaning it absorbs moisture and nutrients from the air rather than from soil. It thrives in bright, indirect light and high humidity, making it an excellent choice for porches, greenhouses, or bright bathrooms. This 1-gallon size provides a generous amount of moss, ready to be incorporated into your next project or displayed on its own.

Planting & Care

To grow Spanish moss, simply drape it over a branch, wire, or other support in a location with bright, indirect light. It can also be placed in a decorative container or used in crafts. Because it is an air plant, it does not require soil; instead, it absorbs moisture from the air. Water by misting thoroughly several times a week, or soak the moss in room-temperature water for 20-30 minutes once a week, then shake off excess water and allow it to dry. In dry indoor environments, more frequent misting may be needed. Avoid direct, harsh sunlight, which can dry out the plant.

Spanish moss is sensitive to air pollution and prefers good air circulation. It can be grown outdoors in frost-free climates or as an indoor plant in cooler areas. With proper care, it will slowly grow and multiply, providing long-lasting beauty for your home or garden projects.
