Abundance All Around
What most Floridians take for granted hanging from the trees all around us, I recognize as a gift. The ubiquitous Spanish moss is my go-to medium for rooting new air layers. They would have you believe that “special” moss must be purchased for air layering, but my life tenets demand use of the renewable resources…
