Tillandsia Cyanea (Pink Quill)

The Tillandsia Cyanea, which is more commonly known as the Pink Quill, is an easy-to-care-for, versatile, and robust houseplant.

Part of the Bromeliad family, unlike most Tillandsia species, it can be grown in a pot as well as an air plant.

It produces a display of large, long-lasting, showy pink bracts that resemble ink quills, and this is where the inspiration for its common name comes from. The bracts add interest for several months—so you'll have plenty opportunity to enjoy their vibrancy. You'll also get to appreciate the pretty little violet flowers that emerge in the summer; although they only last two or three days.

In their native tropical rainforest environment, the Tillandsia Cyanea grows as an epiphytic species on trees. Having the option to grow it in a pot rather than securing the pink quill to other objects (like wood) or attaching with wires, makes it particularly appealing.
