Guzmania hedychioides

Guzmania hedychioides is an obscure bromeliad endemic to Aragua state in Venezuela, where the Coastal Cordillera carries humid cloud forest. There are no wild GBIF records, and the only climate site is a hot lowland point that probably does not match its habitat. Grow it like other montane guzmanias: shaded, humid, mild and never dry.

Where it grows wild

Aragua's humid forests are concentrated in the Coastal Cordillera, including the cloud forest of Henri Pittier National Park. The species presumably grows there, but no habitat notes were found.

No elevation is recorded. Cloud forest in Aragua's Coastal Cordillera lies at roughly 800–2,000 m; this is an inference.
