Tillandsia alfredo-laui

A Mexican Tillandsia described in 1983 by Rauh and Lehmann and named for the collector Alfred Lau. Kew places it in Mexico Central and Northeast, but no wild records have usable localities. The measured regional climate is a semi-arid highland climate with cold, dry winters, so grow it as a bright-light, seasonally dry Tillandsia.
