A tank bromeliad from the Chapada Diamantina uplands of Bahia, with a few coastal records further north. It wants strong light, warm days, cool-ish nights and a drier winter, much like other campo rupestre bromeliads.

Where it grows wild

Most records come from rocky upland vegetation of the Chapada Diamantina, where Hohenbergia grow on rock or in sandy soil among shrubs, sometimes low on trees. Detail is generalised from the genus and record locations.

Recorded from sea level to 1,240 m, median about 890 m; the bulk of records sit at 550-950 m.
