Dyckia alba

A terrestrial, spiny-leaved bromeliad from southern Brazil, grown for its rosettes and white flowers. Like most Dyckia it takes full sun, a hot wet summer and a cool winter, and is easy if given strong light and fast drainage. Little is published specifically on this species, so this profile leans on the genus and the measured climate.
