Guzmania diazii

A Peruvian Guzmania known from a single wild record in hot lowland country where days reach 30 to 33 C and the drier months bring humidity down near 60 percent. That is an unusual climate for the genus and the record may sit in a moist forest pocket the climate grid cannot resolve. Grow it warm and bright with reliable moisture, and treat every number here as provisional.

Where it grows wild

Lowland to foothill forest in Peru, at a site whose regional climate is hot and seasonally dry; a moist gallery or foothill forest within that landscape is the likely microhabitat. Growth form unrecorded; assumed epiphytic like most of the genus.

No elevation recorded; the site's temperatures indicate lowland or low foothills, probably under 800 m.
