Where it grows wild

Presumably an epiphytic tank bromeliad of premontane pluvial forest on the western slope of the Cordillera Occidental, where the trees are sheathed in moss and it rains most days. No species-specific ecology was reachable; this is generalised from wet-forest Guzmania.

Recorded from 1355 to 1815 m, median 1660 m; a mid-elevation premontane plant.
