An Andean Guzmania from the foothill forests of Ecuador, Colombia and Peru, recorded around 1,200 to 1,300 m in wet premontane forest with cool nights and a short drier spell in August and September. Published information is thin, so the profile leans on the recorded sites and the genus. It wants cool nights, high humidity and steady moisture.
