Air plant: Ionantha Peanut Clump

I call it Peanut. It was the largest one out of the bunch that I was digging in at the Orchid Show with a lot of new little clumps starting to form. It's still only a few inches at it's longest point.

It was this very pretty soft to bright pink but now that I've had it for a few months it has kind of dulled down a bit. I am wondering if it would like more light. It only gets indirect in the little square vase it lives in. Since it is blazing hot in Sacramento right now, I may not try that just yet.

The little Peanut seems to be growing a few new leaves, but very slowly. I have no idea how to make it bloom again so I will stick with watering it enough to keep it alive. That's the plan. Come on little Peanut!
