Description
Say hello to the Pink Quill Plant – Tillandsia cyanea if you're feeling fancy. This tropical stunner brings serious flamingo vibes with its hot pink paddle-shaped bract and surprise violet blooms. It’s an air plant at heart, meaning it doesn’t need much to thrive — just some bright light, a little mist, and the occasional pep talk.
Plant Care
Light:
Loves bright, indirect light. A spot near a sunny window is ideal, but skip the harsh midday sun — it’s a delicate diva.
Watering:
Give it a mist a few times a week, or a little soak once a week if it's feeling extra thirsty. Let it dry out completely before its next drink.
Temperature:
Tropical by nature – 15–28°C is the dream zone. Keep it warm and draft-free (no icy breezes, please).
Potting:
No soil? No problem. Mount it or pop it into a loose orchid-style bark, or plant in our A Basic Base mix for extra support with airflow.
Hot tips:
After flowering, the pink quill fades and the plant starts making pups (baby plants!). You can leave them be or separate once they’re big enough to fly solo.
Pet Friendly: Yes! 🎉
