Do you mean the Spanish Moss variety.
They do need water, but will only survive on living wood. I cut a twig off a tree and hung it over that, every week it gets sprayed with warm water, its now survived for over three years.
Cacti only need a bit of water every month during winter, just to keep them ticking over.
