Hina Hina is sometimes used for Lei making in Hawaii, the twisted strands produce a delicate looking 'living' lei.
Hina Hina drapes from most of the branches in our garden (please see listing photos) I also like to dot a little silvery gray tuft of this moss at the base of potted plants, let it 'spill' out. You can easily grow more moss by tearing a little piece off of your existing clump. Share your surplus bits of moss with gardening friends...simply keep this air plant misted with water-watch it go instantly from Gray (Hina'hina in Hawaiian) to green when you water it.
