Description

You can see how this intriguing variety got its name, with twisted and tangled leaves which resemble the wild snaky hair of Medusa. Tillandsia caput-medusae (which translates to Medusa’s Head air plant) makes a fascinating house plant, not only for its foliage but also for its bright pink flower which appears during the summer months to bring a splash of colour. Being an air plant, it doesn’t require any soil or potting up, allowing it to be displayed in a variety of contemporary ways, such as in a vase, hanging glass ball, terrarium or nestled into ornamental wood. Perfect for a modern interior, give this low maintenance plant it a spot in a well-lit room and spritz with water every now and then and it will be quite happy. Height: 40cm (16”). Spread: 30cm (12”).

Please note: Some houseplants are toxic or harmful to pets if ingested. If you believe your pet has consumed a poisonous plant then seek veterinary attention immediately. Take a sample of the plant with you.

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
