Old Man’s Beard

Old Man’s Beard is a fascinating epiphytic lichen with long, trailing, hair-like growths that drape gracefully from trees, branches, or mounted displays. Its silvery-grey strands add texture and an ethereal, forest-like charm to terrariums, hanging displays, or outdoor shaded spaces. Low-maintenance and slow-growing, it thrives in clean, humid air and indirect light.

Plant size: Trailing, typically ±30–60 cm long
Light: Indirect light; avoid direct sun
Water: Mist occasionally to maintain humidity; does not require soil
Temperature: Prefers mild, frost-free conditions

A unique and atmospheric addition — Old Man’s Beard brings texture, sculptural interest, and a mystical, forest-inspired aesthetic to plant displays and terrariums.
