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.

College kids know 🫶🏼
Style: Detoxify
My college kid came home for the weekend and had one of these scrubbers. So, I was intrigued and had to try.. I was very impressed and I am totally hooked now. Everyone is getting one for Christmas in the family in their stockings this year.!!!!! It has exfoliate side and a soft side and you just feel squeaky clean afterwards They hold up really well you can even throw them in the wash and for that price point it’s worth every penny

Best of both worlds for the right price
Style: Detoxify
Really like this scrub, doesn’t irritate skin but has a good soft side and a nice scrubby side that has held up well. It’s a good size and value for the two pack.

Effective and durable
Style: Detoxify
I have used these scrubbers for about two years, bought replacements from Amazon my older one. They are durable and really do the trick removing dry skin that made me look ashy. I use one on my face and another on my arms - even helps remove paint stains after art work.

Great exfoliation and quality
Scent: Graphite Gray_12 Pcs
Excellent quality, durable soap bags that gently exfoliate. Easy to use with a variety of soap sizes and shapes. The color is a basic color, but masculine looking for those who care about such things. They are a nice sturdy thickness and made of quality materials so they last a good amount of time with daily use. The pads are good for absorbing moisture and catching drips from bar diapers as well as very gentle exfoliation. They multi-pack with both bags and scrubbing pads is a good price. They have no or a neutral odor. If you rinse them and hang to dry after each use, they stay fresh, especially in a well-ventilated shower area.
