In this part of the Forest, silvery moss drips from the trees. Sometimes called "Crone's Hair," it is used by the Nuthatches in their nesting rituals. They stuff it inside holes in trees to create living, growing nests, imbued with protective properties. It calls up the wisdom of crones; the oversight of ancestors; and the abiding love of the Hollow Tree. You receive a generous portion of Crone's Hair, as well as a wooden hoop and length of cord to help you display it.
Spanish moss (Tillandsia usneoides) is not a true moss; it’s a flowering air plant. Your Nest of Moss comes with a simple kit (a length of cord and a wooden hoop) to create a hanging display. Or, you can simply drape your moss over a bowl.
It is normal to find twigs and leaves from other plants amongst your moss. It’s also normal for the moss to be dry and brown after its trip through the mail. Your moss was treated with an organic pesticide with a very short half-life.
Revive your moss with a quick swish in water. Drain it thoroughly. Going forward, mist it a few times a week or dunk it in water every week or two. It loves humidity, so it may be happy in your bathroom. However, it does not like to be soaking wet, so do not leave it submerged. It usually does well in partial to full sun.

Allison C. This was part of my first purchase from Birdmoss. I've never encountered Spanish moss in real life so when I opened the box I honestly thought it was just organic packing material, lol. Then I realized it was the Spanish moss. I received a HUGE bundle of it! I was surprised. It filled the whole box (which contained a few other items I bought in the same order). I originally thought it was a tad pricey for what was pictured, but it's truly a huge heap o' moss. Well worth it IMO.
