Guzmania straminea

An old name, published by Koch in the 1850s as Anoplophytum stramineum and moved to Guzmania by Mez in 1896, listed by Kew as Colombian. There are no wild GBIF records, and the single climate site in the data is a hot lowland grid cell that may not represent the plant at all. Treat this as a generic humid-forest Guzmania profile with low confidence throughout.

Where it grows wild

Habitat is not documented in any source reachable here. Most Colombian Guzmania are tank epiphytes of humid forest, and that is the assumption behind the targets below.

No recorded elevation; the one climate site sits at 174 m, but its origin is unknown.

The wild conditions above, turned into targets for a shelf, a tent or a greenhouse. The full profile has:

✓ Day and night temperature targets, and the limits it tolerates
✓ Humidity band, and how to hold it
✓ Light as DLI and PPFD for a grow light
✓ Wet and dry seasons, and whether to rest it
