Dyckia pumila
A small terrestrial bromeliad from rocky cerrado and campo rupestre in Goiás and Mato Grosso, central Brazil. It wants full sun, very sharp drainage, a hot wet summer and a long, almost rainless winter.
Where it grows wild
Like its genus, it grows in clumps among rocks and in thin, sunny, gravelly soils of the Brazilian cerrado, mostly around 550–1,000 m.
Records run from about 550 to 1,010 m, with a median of 1,000 m. A 0 m value looks like a missing elevation.
