Native to Central America and Mexico T. caput-medusae is a commonly cultivated bromeliad species that grows on trees branches in nature. This fuzzy looking Tillandsia is silvery green in color with hues of purple throughout the base extending up towards the leaves. This variety is xeric which means that they can handle more direct sunlight and less water than other air plant varieties. Prefer to be grown indoors in a spot with bright light. They do not like nights below 50°F . In general we recommend watering the Tillandsia caput medusae at least once preferably misting or hosing versus soaking. Since these air plants are bulbous, you should be extra careful after watering them to not let water collect in the bottom leaves as this can cause the plant to rot. Once the plant begins the blooming process, the center leaves can blush a pale pink. You may notice multiple flower bracts that grow from the center, displaying bright cherry red and yellow colors, which will bloom delicate purple flowers.

In some instances, the florists’ photo may represent an overall theme or look and include a one-of-a-kind vase which cannot be exactly replicated. Although the actual bouquet may not precisely match the photo, its temperament will. Occasionally, substitutions of flowers or containers happen due to weather, seasonality and market conditions which may affect availability. If this is the case with the gift you've selected, the local florist will ensure that the style, theme and color scheme of your arrangement is preserved and will only substitute items of equal or higher value.
