☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
The Spanish Moss Air Plant thrives in medium light conditions. It prefers bright, indirect sunlight. Direct sunlight can be too harsh and may scorch the plant, so a spot where it can receive filtered sunlight throughout the day is ideal.
💧 Water
💧💧▫️ (Medium)
Interestingly, Spanish Moss absorbs moisture from the air but will appreciate a regular misting. Try to water it by misting 2-3 times a week, and more frequently during the warmer months or if your home is particularly dry. Ensure it dries out between waterings to prevent rot.
🌡️ Temperature
🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)
This air plant prefers average home temperatures, ideally between 15-26°C. It can tolerate a range of temperatures but will suffer in prolonged cold.
💧 Humidity
💧💧▫️ (Moderate)
Spanish Moss enjoys moderate humidity, which helps mimic its natural tropical habitat. If your home is dry, especially in winter, consider using a humidifier or placing it in naturally humid areas like the kitchen or bathroom.
🌿 Repotting
As an air plant, Spanish Moss does not require soil or traditional potting. Instead, ensure it is hung or placed in an area with good air circulation and away from direct sunlight. You can drape it over a frame, hang it from the ceiling, or place it atop other decor elements where it can elegantly cascade down.
🐾 Pet Friendliness
This plant is non-toxic and safe for cats and dogs. Perfect for pet owners who want to add a bit of greenery without worrying about their furry friends.
