General
Floral Greens Care: Live Spanish Moss can be grown and
kept alive with daily misting or soaking in water. Dried Spanish Moss requires no care.

Moss is available either dried or live. Dried Spanish Moss
is a bit messy and generally used in the interiorscape trade as a
top dressing for house plants. Fresh Spanish Moss is most commonly
used in the floral trade for adding texture to the base of fresh
arrangements. Spanish Moss is also known as "Graybeard".
