Air Plant Shop Tillandsia Caput Medusae Air Plant

No, this is an air plant (Tillandsia) that absorbs moisture and nutrients through its leaves. It does not require soil and thrives when mounted on surfaces or placed in decorative vessels.

To hydrate your Caput Medusae, submerge the entire plant in a bowl of room-temperature water for about 20 to 30 minutes once a week. Afterward, gently shake off excess water and let it dry completely upside down to prevent rot.

Yes, they can be kept outdoors in warmer months, provided they are placed in a spot with partial sun and good air circulation. However, they are not frost-hardy and must be brought inside if temperatures drop.

These plants thrive in bright, indirect light. While they can handle some partial sun, avoid harsh, direct afternoon rays, which can scorch the leaves.

While they look great in terrariums, they require excellent airflow to stay healthy. If using a closed container, ensure it is well-ventilated or remove the plant regularly to allow it to dry out fully after watering.
