The Tillandsia caput medusae Air Plant is a truly captivating variety, known for its warm, fuzzy appearance and sculptural form. Bright green leaves twist and curl outward from a bulbous base, accented with subtle hues of purple that add depth and visual interest. Inspired by its namesake, the flowing leaves resemble the serpents of Medusa, creating a striking and unforgettable display.
This unique air plant brings movement and personality to any space - perfect on its own, styled in a terrarium, or showcased as a living accent on shelves or tables. While easy to care for, bulbous varieties like the caput medusae do appreciate a little extra attention after watering.
Care Tip: After watering, gently shake out any excess water from between the leaves. Water left sitting in the bulbous base can lead to rot.
With its dramatic shape and otherworldly charm, the Tillandsia caput medusae is a standout piece that adds natural artistry and conversation-worthy beauty to your plant collection. 🌿
