Guzmania alborosea

Guzmania alborosea is a tank bromeliad described by Harry Luther in 1986 and endemic to Ecuador. It grows in humid lowland and foothill forest on the western slope of the Andes at about 300–1,350 m. Specific cultivation notes are lacking, so conditions are built from the measured climate and general Guzmania care.
