Guzmania morreniana

An Andean Guzmania of montane cloud forest in southern Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia, recorded at about 1,200–2,450 m. Its habitat is cool, humid and evenly moist, with mild days and cool nights, so it suits a cool, humid terrarium or greenhouse better than a warm living room. Species-specific information is scarce.

Where it grows wild

Herbarium records come from montane and cloud forest on the eastern Andean slopes, including the Cordillera del Cóndor, the Loja–Zamora road and the buffer zone of Yanachaga National Park. Most Guzmania species grow as epiphytes in the forest canopy, but no source found stated this plant's growth form.

Specimen elevations run from about 1,180 m to 2,440 m, most between 1,400 and 2,050 m.
