LIKES //

The Tillandsia Caput Medusae does not require any soakings, and prefers to be misted 2-3 times a week. Soakings and heavy mistings must be done with care to avoid rotting. As for light and air, it does very well in indirect sunlight and prefers a bit of air circulation. A good indicator of your plant being thirsty is the curvature of its leaves - the Caput Medusaes leaves will begin to curl tightly when it is thirsty.

DISLIKES //

Soaks that last too long, trapped water in between its leaves - so after a soaking or a heavy misting, make sure you turn it upside down and shake the excess water free. You can leave the air plant upside down until it is fully dry before placing it back in its home.
