Billbergia dasilvae

An Amazonian Billbergia described by Leme in 1999 from northern Brazil. Almost nothing is published about its habitat, so this profile leans on the lowland Amazon climate and how the genus grows. Treat it as a warm, humid, bright-light tank bromeliad.

Where it grows wild

Probably an epiphyte in lowland Amazonian forest, like most Billbergia of the region. This is inferred from the genus and climate; no habitat notes were reachable.

Lowland: the single climate site lies at about 30 m near Manaus.
