Plant of the Day
Friday 19 January 2024
The Tillandsia usneoides (Spanish moss, grandpa's beard) was thriving in the humid atmosphere of this tropical glasshouse. This epiphyte is native to the forest habitats of the southern United States and some parts of central and South America. The long, cascading stems of silvery green foliage need indirect sunlight and a moist atmosphere as they grow without being rooted in growing media.

Oh my goodness it was so cool to see all these orchids. Vandas, Dendrobium, oncidiums, Phalaenopsis and ones the owner hybridized herself in laboratory. It was absurdly fun.
