Guzmania roezlii

A warm-growing Guzmania from the Guiana Shield, western Amazonia and the eastern Andean foothills, found from near sea level to about 1,700 m. It grows as an epiphyte in riverside and gallery forest and also on the ground on granite outcrops and white-sand forest. Treat it as a warm, bright-shade tank bromeliad; very little specific horticultural information exists.

Where it grows wild

Herbarium labels describe it as an epiphyte on trees overhanging rivers, in riparian rainforest and gallery forest, and on dead trees along rivers. Other collections are terrestrial, on exposed granitic outcrops along rivers, open rocky hillsides, savanna and white-sand forest. One label records white tepals, green bracts and yellow-green rosette leaves.

GBIF records with elevations span about 8–1,700 m, median about 700 m (69 records).
