Neoregelia crispata

A little-documented tank bromeliad from the Atlantic forest belt of southern Bahia, known from only a handful of wild records. Grow it like other bright-light Neoregelias: warm, humid, strong filtered light and a water-filled cup, with good air movement.

Where it grows wild

Records sit in the inland Atlantic forest and cacao-shaded hills of southern Bahia. Like most Neoregelias it is presumably an epiphyte or rock dweller in humid forest; species-specific habitat notes are not available.

The one site with an elevation is about 525 m; the wild records carry almost no elevations.
