Light:
Good, bright natural light is best for you Pink Quill Plant. An east or west exposure fits that bill. You want it in this light to bring on the flowering & keep the plant happy for the long run. Be sure to avoid any strong, direct sun as the plant will burn baby burn.
Water:
This 1 doesn’t need a lot. The best way to water yours is to spray it once or twice a week, depending on how dry your conditions are. You can give the growing medium a good drink every 1-3 months, depending on the temperatures and the season. Like all houseplants, water less in the late fall/winter months. If your water is hard, then use purified or distilled water as this plant is susceptible to a build up of minerals in some tap waters.
Fertilizing:
I usually don’t fertilize my bromeliads or air plants, maybe once a year if I feel they need it. In nature this plant gets it moisture & nutrients through the foliage, not the soil. For this reason, it’s best to spray the fertilizer onto the foliage & the surface of the growing medium. You can use an all purpose orchid food diluted to 1/2 strength or this fertilizer formulated for air plants . You want to fertilizer in the spring &/or summer. Once or twice a year should do it.
