The foliage is mainly green in colour, with purple margins at the base, and more silver

Description: Native to Central America and Mexico, this strange looking air plant derives its name from the goddess of Greek mythology, Medusa, whose hair was a bunch of living venomous snakes. Luckily, this plant isn’t capable of turning onlookers into stone like she was! This species will generally grow to around 20cm in height, with a bulbous based rosette. The foliage is mainly green in colour, with purple margins at the base, and more silver towards the base due to a thick coating of trichomes.  The leaves are spidery, succulent, and channelled. It produces a large, branched inflorescence which blushes a soft pink / orange, with violet, tubular flowers. These flowers will emerge in October (Spring). 

Position: Growing this species indoors is possible. However you will need to make sure it is next to a window with bright light, and good air flow. This species will thrive outside under bright, but indirect sunlight. Under a tree, verandah or deck, or in a shadehouse are all great locations for this plant. Ensure the location you choose has good air flow to help the plant dry out between watering. This species can withstand low temperatures, however it must be protected from frost. This species can be grown suspended or mounted on a solid substrate that does not retain water (timber, cork bark, etc). You can attach this plant to the surface using coated wire, fishing line, or an adhesive such as silicone, hot glue, or no-more nails. Do not cover the base of the plant with moss or any other substrate as it may rot.

Watering: As a general rule, a plant in a hot position will require watering every 2-3 days. In a dark, humid environment watering once per week can often be adequate. This can be achieved by misting or dunking the plant. If outdoors, a hose can be used. When dunking a plant, leave submerged in a bowl of water for 10-20 minutes before shaking off excess water. Air plants love to dry out completely between each watering and must never have water sitting at their base as this will cause the plant to rot.

Fertilisation: We recommend fertilising your Air Plants once a fortnight in the warmer months and once a month through winter. We sell Air Plant Fertiliser in our "Accessories" section. Simply give the plant one or two sprays after watering.

Each living plant is unique and may vary slightly in size, colour or shape depending on the season. Flowering plants are sent when available.

READ then buy!!! ♥️
Size: Large, Size: Large
READ: I bought these because they say %100 cotton! I couldn't find another pair on here that said that. Now the reviews for these underwear are terrible. But I am super impressed with them! I am very picky down there, so I had to write this review to hopefully help others out there looking for %100 cotton underwear! 1.) Buy a size up! I am a medium normally, so I bought a large. This is because cotton shrinks! 2.) Right out of the bag, these dont feel nice, but thats why you NEED to wash them first! Right after a wash they felt extremely soft and comfy! 3.) They are total granny panties but they are perfect! I am young, and I can still rock them haha. I will be buying another set!

Run small
Size: 3X-Large
I even went up a size and they were still quite uncomfortable due to being too small. They just plain didn’t fit so you might wanna go up a couple of sizes

Who knew!?
Size: 3X-Large
I have problems with elastic around my legs so I looked for underwear without the elastic and found these. Okay, not the best look for “date night” but the itchiness is gone when I wear these underwear. I consider it a miracle! Date night will just have to be à la cart.

Lil tight
Size: 3X-Large
Def purchase a size above what you normally wear. I unfortunately could not go any higher of a size. Its more of a snug fit, somewhat stretchy, but the fabric is soft and feels great. If the size was just a lil bit bigger these would be perfect. But they feel good.
