A Mexican endemic Tillandsia (subgenus Tillandsia). The measured sites lie at about 1200–1900 m in a strongly seasonal climate, with a hot, very dry spring and summer monsoon rains. Grow it like other xeric Mexican highland tillandsias: bright, airy and dry between waterings.

Where it grows wild

Presumed epiphytic, like most of the genus, on trees in dry highland woodland; the habitat is not documented in the sources reached. The strong seasonality suggests oak or pine-oak woodland or canyon forest.

Measured sites lie at about 1240–1920 m.
