One of the best hosts with smooth clear English voice. Sincere respect to a well educated lady. My garden now has plenty of it after receiving it as a small gift few years ago, cultivating it with orchid plants now.
I am from and grew up in the Deep South (Florida, USA). Spanish moss is a very important part of my childhood. Currently I am in Tennessee, USA and am growing it as a houseplsnt. Spanish moss is my favorite of all plants. It is very romantic, it is useful, and it brings back some enchanting childhood memories for me.

Lol Florida is not the deep south. Deep south is a cultural term, not geographical. But I'm from Florida too, lived in savannah for a bit, and I totally agree - spanish moss is such a part of your life. You can't avoid it. I hung some in my shower for a couple months and sprayed it and it stayed beautiful and green. Eventually I got grossed out lol.

@@carolinebarley It was my understanding that there are some places and parts of Florida that are considered deep south, and that’s what I thought she was referring to. At any rate, I think Spanish Moss is gorgeous, and I’m more of a coastal person.
FIrst time i seen this in greenish colour....

@@greenfingers5110 No, I don't grow it in my house. As all cypress and oak trees are covered with Spanish moss here, they don't give much novelty to grow.
Very good naration and interesting. Decided to collect this plant. ,👍👍
Hi, I live in Florida and it grows on my oak trees and even starts on my clothesline. It was historically used to make furniture cushion stuffing. I like your videos.
Very attractive presentation 👍👍I’m sure your channel will flourish very speedily . You are very much talented 🙏🙏🙏
Very beautifully explained dear Sangeetha . I m eagerly awaiting for your next upload. Best wishes

Amazing plants . Thanks

Very informative video. Missing your plant videos
I purchased a large shopping bag of this stuff for $15! I have 3 massive bunches that I probably haven’t been watering enough I realise after watching your video. I did however find a few tiny bright green flowers today. I was so excited as I had no idea they can flower. The lady I bought it off has loads and loads of it but is trying to get rid of it as it’s poisonous to horses apparently.
Very nice plant.
Love your english
I am in New Jersey and have it hanging on a very old antique floor stand lamp indoors over winter. The lamp is metal but there's been no harm i can detect.. rust is acidic and not seen on it. I spray it almost daily with ph7 water from my filter. I brought it home from a FL road trip and it's thriving. It even sprouts its brown blossoms, one each week. Its next to a home humidifier which runs constant from late October to early May. I use it also to surround small pots in open boxes. I wish you spent more time on propagation and fertilization if any.
Thanks .I am going to try doing one soon.i live in Florida and they are so much around me .
Amazing plant

Great video!
Thank you. That was very helpful. We have a big bunch and about 1/3rd dried out from infrequent watering. I need to figure out a solution for vacation watering.
So green
Hi Sangeetha the presentation is very well done. I want to share an experience with you. In spring I moved the Spanish moss plant into the green house. Had it measured to see if super thrive made a difference to growth. A few weeks later I the plant had got thinner and shorter. It puzzled me. I could watch the green house from the kitchen window. A blackbird appeared . Started. Moving from one branch to another. The whole time watching me. Probably felt safe and made a dash into the green house. After moving around the plants went to three Spanish moss and started picking the fibres. And went into a corner. Had a look when the bird was not around. Found a nest with four eggs. The nest was lined with Spanish moss. Brought the Spanish moss into the house. I have had robins wrens and house sparrows nesting in the green house. This is rage first time a blackbird nested. All four eggs hatched. The young bride flew around inside the green house. Then then the parents did not feed them and one by one the young ones came out. Interesting experience. The house sparrows like coco fibre and I an forever repairing the hanging baskets. Thank you very much for a nice presentation Mano

Which nursery in Bangalore
I love Spanish moss tried to grab some off a tree a few years ago when i was in Florida and had to leave it behind cause it carries chiggers.I am going to order some off of amazon and grow it in my apartment
Very interesting video. The way you explained, is very crisp and clear. I am from Ahmedabad. I recently got this plant. I have placed it in shaded area. Here in winter the temp. is around 25°c but in summer it goes high upto 44°c. Humidity is not that much. What should be the frequency to water the plant in winter and summer?
👌👌
Which camera do you use ?
Very Nice. I am trying to get one too. Can you cut a piece from your plant and propagate it
