Vriesea curvispica

A Peruvian Vriesea described by Werner Rauh in 1983 and known almost only from its type material. There are no usable wild records, so this profile uses the conditions typical of Andean forest Vriesea. Treat it as a humid, intermediate-temperature tank epiphyte and watch how it responds.

Where it grows wild

The habitat is not documented in the sources we could reach. Rauh collected mostly on the forested eastern Andean slopes of Peru, so an epiphytic habit in humid montane forest is the likeliest guess.

Unknown. The measured climate comes from a point placed in Peru, not from a collection site.
