Where it grows wild

No habitat details were found for this species. Neoregelia from south-eastern Brazil grow as epiphytes on trees or on rock outcrops in Atlantic Forest and inselberg vegetation, usually where some sun reaches them.

No elevation data. The climate below is for one point at about 580 m on the Minas Gerais–Espírito Santo border, picked from the region rather than from a collection.
