My Guess is that it is treated to prevent rot and is actually dead moss. In reality spanish moss is not a moss at all. It is a bromeliad!! related to what they breed Dart Frogs in.

The live stuff would be OK but requires High light and frequent misting and high humidity. SO not a BP candidate.

Sum it up stick with mosser lee brand canadian sphagnum or a quality New Zealand sphagnum. New zealand almost NEVER rots.
