December 2022 Note, due to overwhelming demand we sold out of plants with large quills, these are all going to arrive with smaller quills that are still growing and will become much larger before it blooms. The quill is still growing so it will arrive with a small one in the center that will grow out over the next few months and bloom in the spring. Make sure to keep in bright light and moist.
A pink quill and purple flowers make this an easy plant to love. The low maintainece needs and robust nature of this tillandsia or airplane make it a gorgeous addition to any space. In a Moss Ball this is absolutely a stunner that will hang and inspire beauty.
A gorgeous epiphytic plant that can grow in a pot rather than on other objects. 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.
