The Tillandsia Cyanea, often known as the Pink Quill, is a distinctive flowering houseplant with long, narrow green leaves arranged in a neat rosette. Its standout feature is the bright pink, fan-shaped flower spike, with small violet-blue flowers appearing along the edges.
Growing to around 10–20cm tall, the Pink Quill stays compact enough for shelves, desks and windowsills. Its unusual shape and tropical appearance make it an eye-catching alternative to more familiar flowering houseplants.
- Distinctive pink flower spike: violet-blue flowers emerge from bright pink bracts
- Compact size: grows to around 10–20cm tall
- Choose 1 or 2 plants: create a single display or pair them together
- 9cm pot: a compact size for shelves, desks and windowsills
- Produces new plants: offsets, known as pups, can develop around the base after flowering
Please note: the decorative pot shown in the images is for illustration only and is not included.
As this is a natural product, each plant is individual and may vary in size, shape and the stage of its flower spike. Some may arrive with more violet flowers open than others.

Watering Mist thoroughly or soak the plant in room-temperature water around once or twice a week, depending on warmth and airflow. Shake off excess water afterwards and allow it to dry fully within a few hours, as water left sitting around the base can cause rot. Water a little more often in hot, dry rooms and less during cooler periods.
Best Growing Conditions Grow in bright, filtered light with good airflow and warm room temperatures. Air plants do not need compost, so display them where water can drain away easily after misting or soaking. Avoid cold draughts, prolonged direct midday sun and enclosed containers with stagnant air.
