Neoregelia sanguinea

A tank-forming bromeliad endemic to southeastern Brazil. Like most of its genus, its rosette probably blushes red at the centre when it flowers. Almost nothing species-specific is published, so these conditions follow the Atlantic Forest Neoregelia pattern: bright filtered light, warm days, mild nights and a water-filled central cup.

Where it grows wild

It is presumed to grow as an epiphyte or on rocks in the Atlantic Forest of southeastern Brazil, as most Neoregelia do. There are no species-specific habitat records.

Unknown. The climate site is a region-level point at about 580 m.
