Hohenbergia lanata

A rosette bromeliad from the uplands of Bahia in northeastern Brazil. Its sites are warm and seasonally fairly dry, with strong sun. Treat it as a bright-light tank bromeliad that tolerates some dryness and benefits from a clear day–night temperature swing.

Where it grows wild

Probably grows on rock outcrops or in open, dry forest at middle elevations, where light is strong. This is inferred from the climate and from the many Bahian Hohenbergia found in such habitats.

Recorded between 331 and 775 m, median about 660 m.
