What is preserved moss and how do I care for it?

Preserved moss is live moss that has been harvested and put through a preservation process to retain its softness and natural beauty. It does not require any maintenance, no watering is needed. For indoor use only. Avoid direct sunlight, heat vents and water.

What water should I use for watering my air plants

Do not use distilled or filtered water. If you have access to rain water or creek water, air plants will love you for that. It has plenty of the minerals and nutrients that they need. Aquarium water works great too. Most people use tap water, which is totally fine for air plants. If you put the water out 24 hours before soaking the plants, that will allow chlorine to evaporate from the water especially if your water is highly chlorinated. Chlorine can turn the tips of the leaves brown.

Why do some air plants look like they have this white layer on them

The white fuzzy stuff is actually called trichomes. Trichome is derived from a Greek word which means 'to cover with hair'. Trichomes are small hairs on the leaves of the air plants which help them absorb water, airborne minerals, and help them regulate their temperature. They are important since air plants do not grow in soil and have traditional root systems. Trichomes can absorb moisture directly from the air, even without the plant having to get damped by rain, mist, or morning dew. The trichomes actually serve a purpose. Some air plants have more trichomes than others. So it's not unusual at all.

Star Seller. This seller consistently earned 5-star reviews, shipped on time, and replied quickly to any messages they received.

The caput-medusae is an air plant that is not only quirky in its looks but also in its name. It's sometimes referred to as medusa's head or octopus plant. Native to Central America and Mexico, the plant has wide, sturdy leaves with some purple hues which are soft and velvety to the touch. One of our customers' favorites. 💚

Available in large or medium sizes*. Get a single caput-medusae or a set of 3 (save more) that you can have fun displaying or give away as unique plant gifts. These unusual-looking air plants will make an interesting addition to your plant decor.

Large 6"+ tall or wide, base 1"-1.5" wide
Medium 3"-4", base 1" wide

As xeric air plants, they can handle more sunlight and less water than other air plants. Since these are bigger and bulbous in nature, soaking is not recommended. Mist them a couple of times a week. Hook it on something and let it hang or lean it against something so it dries upside down. Since the caput-medusae is bulbous, be extra careful after watering not to let water collect at the base (the upside-down drying helps), as this can cause the plant to rot. If it’s blooming, do not wet the flowers. Mist the non-flower portion. Return them to their display when dry.

As with all air plants, adjust your watering frequency and care based on the environment you're in.
