Where it grows wild

An epiphyte, sometimes on mossy banks, in Andean cloud forest and forest edges of Antioquia, Boyacá, Caldas and Valle del Cauca. The genus habit is a tank rosette on moss-covered trunks; species-specific ecology was not reachable, so this is generalised from cloud-forest Guzmania.

Recorded from 1475 to 2970 m, median 2138 m; a true montane species and the coolest-growing of this batch.
