Deuterocohnia recurvipetala

A terrestrial bromeliad from the dry northwest of Argentina, forming spiny rosettes on rocky ground. Treat it like other Deuterocohnia: full sun, a very mineral mix, a warm wet summer and a cool, dry winter.

Where it grows wild

Probably rocky slopes and outcrops in dry scrub, where Deuterocohnia form dense, spiny cushions in full sun. This is inferred from the genus; no wild records were usable.

Unknown. The climate site is a 293 m placeholder; related Deuterocohnia mostly grow at roughly 500 to 2500 m.
