Light: Spanish moss prefers bright, indirect light. If grown indoors, place it near a window where it can receive filtered sunlight.
Humidity: High humidity is essential. Mist the moss regularly with water to keep it hydrated, especially if you live in a dry climate.
Watering: Spanish moss needs to be misted or soaked in water. If soaking, immerse it in water for 15-20 minutes about once a week, more frequently in hot, dry weather.
Air Circulation: Good air circulation is important to prevent rot. Ensure it has plenty of space around it to allow air to flow freely.
Temperature: Spanish moss thrives in temperatures between 50-90°F (10-32°C). It can tolerate brief periods of cold, but prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures can damage it.
Fertilization: Fertilization is usually not necessary, but if desired, use a diluted, water-soluble fertilizer sparingly, no more than once a month during the growing season.
Placement: Spanish moss can be hung from trees, wire frames, or other supports. It should be placed where it can drape and grow naturally.
