Tillandsia sodiroi

Tillandsia sodiroi is a high-Andean bromeliad of northern Ecuador and Peru. It grows as an epiphyte in montane cloud forest and at the páramo edge, at about 1,800–3,600 m (median about 3,000 m, such as Papallacta and El Ángel). It needs cool conditions year-round, which is hard to give in a warm home.
