Do not place in water to soak.. Just mist every couple of days it will be fine.. Ever been to Sanibel Island ,Spanish moss grows everywhere( moisture in the air in the morning).. Put it outside only if its hot and not in the sun... Best friend has 56 of them wish I could but don't have green thumb.....
Reply:You can use regular water so long as it is not from a water softener. Rain water is best.
