Aechmea mira

A little-documented Aechmea described in 2007 from Bahia in north-eastern Brazil. Nothing specific on its habitat is published in reachable sources, so these conditions come from the single measured point in the Bahia interior and from what is typical for north-eastern Brazilian Aechmea: bright light, warm days, and a pronounced dry season.

Where it grows wild

Habitat not documented in available sources. The measured point lies in the seasonally dry Bahia interior, where Aechmea usually grow on rocks or in the shade of shrubs and trees in moister pockets; treat it as a tank bromeliad of bright, seasonally dry places.

The single measured point sits at about 440 m; the true elevation range is unknown.
