Spanish Moss (Tillandsia usneoides) – 45cm

Bring natural texture and elegance into your home with Tillandsia usneoides, commonly known as Spanish Moss. This fascinating air plant belongs to the Bromeliad family and grows naturally in the warm, humid forests of South America. Its cascading, silvery-green strands create a stunning display when hung from shelves, mirrors or ceiling hooks, perfect for adding softness and movement to any interior.

Unlike traditional houseplants, Spanish Moss doesn’t need soil. It absorbs moisture and nutrients directly through its leaves, making it a low-maintenance choice for plant lovers who enjoy something a little different. Simply hang your Tillandsia in a bright room with good airflow, mist regularly and soak occasionally for best results.
