The Pink Quill Plant (Tillandsia cyanea), also known as Pink Feather Plant, is a striking bromeliad admired for its vibrant pink bract that resembles a feather or quill. This unique and low-maintenance plant adds a tropical flair to any indoor space, making it a favorite among houseplant enthusiasts.


Distinctive Features

Growing Conditions

  • Water: Mist regularly or fill the central cup with water; avoid waterlogging the roots.

  • Humidity: Requires moderate to high humidity; use a humidifier or mist frequently in dry environments.

  • USDA Hardiness Zones: 10-11 (commonly grown indoors in cooler climates).
