Where it grows wild

No habitat notes are published. The measured site is a dry inter-Andean valley with a long rainless winter, where small tillandsias grow exposed on rocks, cacti and scrub.

Elevation of the single record is not given; the Camargo valley lies at mid elevation in the southern Bolivian Andes, and the measured frost-free but cold winter nights fit that.
