Tillandsia Cyanea Hawaiian Pink Quill

Although this exotic houseplant is now labeled under the name Wallisia cyanea, it is still widely recognized by its former name Tillandsia Cyanea or Pink Quill. It is a member of the Tillandsia genus which consists of more than 400 species and they all belong to the Bromeliads family. The most popular cultivated species is certainly the Pink Quill which can be easily purchased in supermarkets or nurseries.
This amazing flowering plant has quill-like, bright pink bracts and arching, leathery, narrow leaves which grow on a stemless rosette. The pink bracts are actually the inflorescence and not technically the flowers. When blooming season arrives, purple-blue flowers occur on the bracts. Pink Quill can grow up to 1.6 ft (0.5 m) but many new dwarf cultivars can grow only 10 in (25 cm) tall.

The native habitat of Pink Quill is Ecuador where the plant is found emerging from trees as an epiphyte.
Epiphyte plants are also called air plants and they all thrive upon another plants, like trees (or even a building!), but using them only as a physical support. They are not parasitic on supporting plants and they obtain nutrients and water vapor from the air.
