Neoregelia coriacea

Neoregelia coriacea is a tank bromeliad from south-eastern Brazil with leathery leaves, as the name suggests; almost nothing specific about its habitat is published. Grow it like other Atlantic-forest neoregelias: bright filtered light, warm days, a water-filled cup and a drier, cooler winter.

Where it grows wild

No wild records with habitat notes were found; by analogy with its genus it is probably an epiphyte or rock-dweller in the Atlantic forest and its rocky outcrops.

No elevations recorded; the single climate site used is about 580 m in eastern Minas Gerais / Espírito Santo.
