Description
Light
Pink quill plants do best when positioned in a sunny spot. This will prolong the flowering period and keep the plant happy and healthy. However, too much direct and intense afternoon sunlight can burn the foliage, and too little will mean they won’t bloom.
Watering
pink quills don’t need as much water as the average houseplant, they do tend to need more than most Tillandsia species. If they’re potted up, depending on the time of year and how dry the conditions are, they could need watering anywhere from every two weeks to every couple of months.
Temperature
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that this tropical species appreciates warm conditions. Ideal minimum temperatures for encouraging blooms are around 75 degrees Fahrenheit (18 and 24 °C).
Humidity
They aren’t fans of dry conditions either. If there isn’t enough humidity, the foliage can develop brown tips.
