Pink Bracts grow out of the center of this airplane bromeliad hybrid with stunning purple blooms. The Tillandsia 'cyanea' is a gorgeous epiphytic plant that can tolerate soil and potting settings. This one is hand-mounted on wood with sphagnum moss to serve as a beautiful addition to any plant spot. As a Tillandsia (but also part of the Bromeliad family) it grows in a different pattern producing showy pink bracts that resemble ink quills. It does take a few years for the plant to reach maturity to bloom. These are pretty mature at the moment and some have bloomed.

- This plant is available in a variety of potted sizes that can be seen by clicking here.
- This one is a mounted 12 inch by 8 inch board to adorn your space.
