Deuterocohnia lotteae

A small rosette bromeliad from Bolivia, from a genus of dry Andean rock-dwellers that form dense, spiny cushions. Almost nothing species-specific is published, so these conditions follow the single measured site in Tarija and the genus. Grow it hard: strong light, sharp drainage and a dry winter.

Where it grows wild

Probably rocky slopes and cliffs in dry inter-Andean valleys, as is typical for Deuterocohnia. Not documented for this species.

The single measured site is at about 1,560 m.
