Neoregelia ibitipocensis

A compact Neoregelia named after the Serra do Ibitipoca in Minas Gerais. It grows at 1,450 to 1,900 m in the montane rocky fields and forest edges of the Mantiqueira ranges. Unlike lowland Neoregelia, it wants bright light, cool nights and a drier winter.

Where it grows wild

Probably grows on quartzite rocks and in shrubby high-altitude vegetation and cloud-forest edges, often forming clumps on rock. This is inferred from the genus and the high-elevation records.

Recorded at 1,450 to 1,920 m, with a median of about 1,680 m, well above the coastal lowland Neoregelia.
