Tillandsia caput-medusae is a striking air plant named for its resemblance to the snake-haired Medusa, with thick, silvery-green leaves that twist and curl outward from a bulbous b ase. A member of the Tillandsia genus, it thrives without soil by absorbing moisture through its leaves, making it perfect for creative displays like mounts or decorative holders. It prefers bright, indirect light, good airflow, and regular watering through soaking or misting, with time to dry fully afterward. When in bloom, it produces a vibrant red inflorescence with purple tubular flowers, adding a bold splash of color. Pet friendly: Yes—generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs. Show more
