Aechmea haltonii

A bromeliad known from Panama, with only one wild record on GBIF. Grow it like other lowland and premontane Panamanian Aechmea: warm, humid, bright filtered light, and a slightly drier spell in the first months of the year.

Where it grows wild

Presumed to grow as an epiphyte in wet lowland to premontane forest on the Pacific–Caribbean divide of western Panama, as most Panamanian Aechmea do. Habitat detail is not published that we could reach.

The only record is at about 500 m in Veraguas; premontane wet forest at that height is warm but rarely hot.
