Spanish moss

Tillandsia Usneoides, what is it and where does it come from?

Spanish Moss, also known as Tillandsia Usneoides, is a striking plant that resembles stringy green strands dangling from trees. Although it looks like moss, it actually belongs to the Tillandsia family and is not a moss. This fascinating plant is native to the southeastern United States, but you can also find it in parts of Central and South America. Spanish Moss belongs to the air plants family, which means it absorbs water and nutrients from the air, so it has developed an interesting survival strategy.
