Pink Quill (Tillandsia ‘Cyanea’) Air Plant Bromeliad
A showstopping air plant bromeliad with a vivid pink quill bract that lasts up to 4 months and delicate purple flowers that emerge from different parts of the bract.
The Tillandsia 'Cyanea' is an eye-catching epiphytic plant with thin, arching green leaves and a dramatic pink quill bract that resembles an ink quill. Purple flowers emerge from the bract for a stunning color contrast. The pink bract lasts up to 4 months; when it turns green and dries, trim it close to the base and a new one will grow. As a Tillandsia and bromeliad hybrid, it obtains moisture and nutrients from the air and can be potted in a well-draining medium or orchid bark. Available in nursery pot, Selene Planter, Athena Planter, Preserved Moss Ball, or Wall Mount.
What I love about it
The Pink Quill is the air plant that makes people stop and stare. The vivid pink bract is genuinely dramatic — it holds its color for up to 4 months, which is exceptional for a flowering plant. The purple flowers that emerge from the bract add a delicate contrast that makes the whole display feel intentional and beautiful. In a moss ball it's absolutely stunning as a hanging display. Low-maintenance, long-lasting color, and genuinely unlike anything else on a plant shelf.
