Caput Medusae air plants are named for their resemblance to Medusa, the Greek goddess famous for her hair made of snakes. Also known as an “Octopus” plant, this plant features long, tentacle-like leaves that grow in a swirling pattern up from the base. We are thrilled to offer this highly unique and sought-after air plant at a truly impressive size of 8 to 10 inches in height.

This plant’s maturity and larger size means that its care requirements are even less than smaller air plants. Large air plants can tolerate less watering and less lighting than their smaller counterparts. Caput Medusae are particularly gorgeous when in bloom; they typically bloom 2 to 3 times a year, featuring bright pink or purple blooms.

We recommend keeping air plants in an area where they receive a moderate amount of light. Indirect sunlight and artificial home/office lighting are appropriate for these plants. It's generally safe to keep air plants in direct sunlight for 2 to 3 hours or less each day, but we recommend misting them with water to keep them from drying out. The optimal way to water these air plants is to soak them in water for 2 hours once per week. If you find the leaves of your air plants are becoming soft or pale in color, this means the plant is too dry, and you should try misting or watering them more often.
