Neoregelia cathcartii

A tank bromeliad recorded only from Venezuela, one of the few Neoregelia outside Brazil's Atlantic Forest; it most likely belongs to the Amazonian and Guayana group of the genus. Nothing on its cultivation is published, so grow it like other Amazonian Neoregelia: warm, humid, bright filtered light and a water-filled cup.
