Tillandsia usneoides, commonly known as 'Spanish Moss', is a distinctive member of the Bromeliaceae family that grows in long, trailing strands. Found in the warmer regions of the Americas, from the southeastern United States through Central and South America, it typically hangs from tree branches in humid, shaded woodlands and swamps. Unlike most Tillandsias, this species forms no central rosette and has no roots, absorbing moisture and nutrients directly through its densely trichomed grey-green filaments. Despite its common name, it is not a moss, but a true flowering plant.

Care Tips:

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; avoid direct midday sun
  • Water: Mist thoroughly 3–5 times weekly, or soak briefly 1–2 times per week; ensure fast drying
  • Humidity: High humidity (60–90%) is ideal; essential to provide good air movement
  • Media: No media needed; hang freely from wire, wood, or hooks
  • Temperature: Optimal range is 10–32°C; avoid freezing temperatures
  • Fertiliser: Use diluted tillandsia fertiliser monthly in growing season
