Where it grows wild

Grows on or among sandstone rocks and in sandy, rocky scrub of the campo rupestre highlands, sometimes in partial shade of shrubs. Species detail is thin; this follows the location and related saxicolous neoregelias.

The recorded sites sit around 950 to 980 m on the Chapada Diamantina plateau.
