Deuterocohnia schreiteri
A terrestrial bromeliad from the dry Andean foothills of northwest Argentina that builds dense mounds of small, stiff, spiny rosettes. Like other Deuterocohnia it carries long-lived, branching flower stalks that can bloom again in later years, so they should not be cut off after flowering. Treat it as a hardy, full-sun xeric plant with a warm wet summer and a cool dry winter.
Where it grows wild
Rocky slopes and outcrops in dry scrub of the Andean foothills, where clumps sit among stones in full sun. Recorded at 850–1725 m, mostly around 1450 m.
