What
is Spanish Moss?
Spanish moss, sometimes called Grandfather's Graybeard or Florida
Moss, is
soft,
graceful, eerie and beautiful all at the same time. A
romantic
symbol of the South, it is greenish silver after a rain,  and
grayish-silver
at other times. Spanish moss can grow strands up to 20 feet long
especially on Live Oak and Cypress tree branches.
As an epiphyte, an
air plant that lives upon other plants, it
absorbs
nutrients and water from
the air and rainfall. It is not a biological parasite in the same sense
as some other epiphytes that sap nutrients from the tree. More...
How is
it Shipped?
It is shipped alive and fairly tight in the box, but not so compressed
that it cannot breathe. The weight listed is the weight of the moss,
excluding packaging. The final shipping weight is greater. Note: Moist
Spanish Moss will mold if it's not
dried out before storing, so it is best to remove it from the box and
fluff it as soon as possible
after delivery.
Will it
Grow After Shipping?
Yes. The moss that we ship is picked fresh and will continue to grow if
the
conditions are right. Live Spanish Moss can be grown and kept alive
with daily misting. More on Growing Spanish Moss...
Live vs
Dried
Dried Spanish Moss is a bit messy and generally used in the
interiorscape trade as a top dressing for house plants. Fresh or Live
Spanish Moss is soft and pliable and is most commonly used in the
floral trade for adding
texture to the base of fresh arrangements. More Uses...
The FSM Theory
Does
Spanish Moss kill trees? We have always found it curious that
while we do believe
that Spanish Moss does not kill trees, the volume of Spanish Moss on a
healthy
oak tree does seem to be significantly more where branches are dead and
a dead tree always seem to have more moss than a live one. What then is
the cause and effect? The FSM Theory...

Uses and other Claims about Spanish Moss

curious and interesting datapoints. Claims...
