Neoregelia princeps

A tank bromeliad from Brazil's south-eastern Atlantic forest whose inner leaves blush red around the flowers. Very little site data exists, so grow it as you would other Atlantic-forest Neoregelia: bright filtered light, warm days, mild nights, humid air and a water-filled central cup.

Where it grows wild

Atlantic forest, epiphytic on trees or growing on rocks and the ground, like most Neoregelia. Its specific microhabitat is poorly documented.

No elevation records; the single climate site lies at about 580 m.
