Neoregelia dungsiana

A little-documented Neoregelia from the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil, known from very few collections. Treat it like other Espirito Santo neoregelias: a tank bromeliad that wants bright filtered light, warm days, mild nights and a slightly drier winter.

Where it grows wild

No wild GBIF records exist, so habitat is inferred from the genus: Neoregelia in this region grow as epiphytes on trunks or on granite outcrops in Atlantic Forest, holding water in a central tank.

Elevation unknown; the climate point used sits near 580 m in the Brazil Southeast region, which fits the low to mid elevations typical of the genus there.
