Neoregelia fluminensis

A tank bromeliad from southeastern Brazil. Its name, fluminensis, points to Rio de Janeiro. Little is published on its habitat, so these conditions follow the usual Atlantic Forest Neoregelia pattern: bright filtered light, warm humid days, mild nights and a water-filled cup.
