Complete Care Guide

Light Requirements ▼
  • Bright, indirect light maintains vibrant pink quill coloration
  • East or north-facing windows provide ideal gentle illumination
  • Avoid direct sunlight which can fade the stunning pink bract
  • Tolerates fluorescent lighting, making it perfect for offices
Watering Instructions ▼
  • Keep soil consistently moist but never waterlogged
  • Water when top inch of soil feels dry to the touch
  • Use filtered or distilled water for best results
  • Maintain higher humidity around the plant for optimal growth
Humidity & Temperature ▼
  • High humidity preferred: 50-70% for optimal pink quill development
  • Temperature range: 65-80°F (18-27°C) year-round
  • Use humidity trays or humidifiers in dry environments
  • Avoid cold drafts and sudden temperature changes
Potting & Fertilizing ▼
  • Use well-draining potting mix with good aeration
  • Ensure pots have drainage holes to prevent root rot
  • Feed monthly with diluted bromeliad or houseplant fertilizer
  • Repot only when absolutely necessary as bromeliads prefer being slightly root-bound
Blooming & Lifecycle ▼
  • Pink quill bract lasts 2-4 months, producing purple flowers sequentially
  • After blooming, the mother plant produces offset "pups" at the base
  • Allow pups to grow to 1/3 mother plant size before separating
  • Each plant typically blooms once, but pups will flower in 1-2 years

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the Pink Quill bloom last?
The spectacular pink quill bract lasts 2-4 months, during which time it produces a succession of beautiful purple-blue flowers. The pink paddle remains colorful throughout this entire blooming period, providing months of continuous display.
Is the Pink Quill Plant difficult to care for?
Not at all! Pink Quill Plants are quite forgiving and adaptable. They need consistent moisture, bright indirect light, and good humidity - similar care to many common houseplants. They're perfect for intermediate plant parents.
Will my Pink Quill Plant bloom again?
Individual plants typically bloom once, but after flowering they produce baby plants called "pups" at their base. These pups can be separated and grown into new blooming plants, ensuring you'll have Pink Quill blooms for years to come.
Is this plant safe for pets?
Yes! Pink Quill Plants (Tillandsia cyanea) are non-toxic to cats and dogs, making them safe choices for pet-loving households while adding exotic tropical beauty to your home.
Why are the leaf tips turning brown?
