The listing, Live Air Plant! Baby Ball Moss! Pink/Purple Blooms has ended.
Ball Moss is not actually a moss, but a living air plant that does not require soil. Ball moss is a particularly hardy and resilent plant that really doesnt require much, and in fact prefers a comfortable spot to live out its days neglected from care. The ball moss I have seem to vary in their colors of their small blooms. Some are purple, some pink; its just a surprise and no way of telling until they actually flower (yes they bloom, flower and seed!) This is for the particular small, young and strong, baby plants that range in size from 1 in. to several. I will do my best to accomodate any size requests. Good luck & enjoy!
Some info found online about ball moss:
What is ball moss?
Ball moss (Tillandsia recurvata) is a small epiphyte commonly found clinging to limbs of liveoaks and other trees in southwest Texas. Ball moss is not a moss, but a true plant withflowers and seeds. It is a member of the bromeliad family, which also contains Spanish moss and pineapple.
What is an epiphyte?
Epiphytes are plants that attach themselves to limbs, tree trunks, power lines, fences, and many other structures with pseudo-roots. These are not true roots. They do not absorb water and minerals; they merely attach the plant to an aerial structure. Since epiphytes do not take nutrients and water from these aerial structures, they are not parasites; therefore, ball moss is not a parasite.
If ball moss is not a parasite, then why did those branches covered with it die?
If you take careful notice, you will observe the majority of these dead limbs are in the interior of the tree's canopy. Ball moss prefers an environment with low sunlight intensity and high humidity. The interior canopy of trees (especially live oaks) provides an ideal environment for ball moss. These interior limbs die from a lack of sunlight; then the ball moss plants colonize these branches.
