๐จ An Air Plant, Not a True Moss
Despite its common name, Spanish Moss is not actually moss. Tillandsia usneoides belongs to the bromeliad family and is related to other Tillandsia air plants.
It grows without traditional soil and absorbs moisture and nutrients through specialized structures on its foliage.
