But did you know this epiphytic Bromeliad also makes a great houseplant? Spanish moss care is not too complicated. Like other air plants, it can be grown without a pot in any bright location you have to offer.

If you want to grow Spanish moss in your home, the best way to keep it alive and healthy is to mimic its natural environment.
Light:An important part of Spanish moss care is figuring out the right balance in lighting.
Location: Although you should probably be able to grow the hardy Spanish moss in any location in your home, it prefers a relatively humid spot like your kitchen or bathroom.

Temperature: If grown indoors, temperature isn’t too much of an issue for this air plant. Room temp works fine, and it can handle much higher and lower as well. Even light frost won’t be fatal as long as you keep your Spanish moss dry!

The easiest way to keep your Spanish moss well-hydrated is to give it a quick soak when it’s gone completely dry. How often this will be depends on the humidity level in your home and the amount of sun it gets, but it’ll probably be once or twice a week.
