Neoregelia kautskyi

A Neoregelia known from the mountain Atlantic Forest of Espírito Santo, Brazil, with a single georeferenced wild record. Little is published about its habitat, so care follows mild, humid montane forest bromeliads: bright dappled light, a water-filled cup and no real dry season.
