Very cool, Anna! Love your pics and plants! I had no idea Spanish moss would survive outside "in captivity." So cool!
Popping by to say how (I guess) happy my plant is, thanks to the great advice here, Ken in particular. Thanks again!
It's got a little pup on one side. I did leave it alone for 10 days when we went on vacation, but have dribbled a little water on it a couple times this past week. My Mom said it rained several times at her house nearby, so the humidity would have been extra high (100% vs. 98.5% - LOL!,) and if it was windy at all, some moisture would get on the Tilly when raining even though it's under the porch roof. Doesn't seem attached to the tree in any way, yet, but the appearance of the pup is really exciting to me.
On a side-note, it's really cool to have plants that can use the space other plants are already using.
