Vriesea fulgida

Vriesea × fulgida (Rodigas, 1888) is a 19th-century Belgian garden hybrid. There is no wild population to copy, so this profile uses the conditions that suit the soft-leaved, green-leaved Atlantic Forest Vriesea these hybrids were bred from. Treat it as a warm, bright-shade tank epiphyte.

Where it grows wild

A garden hybrid with no natural habitat. Its likely parents are tank-forming epiphytes of humid Brazilian Atlantic Forest, where they grow on trunks and branches in broken shade.

Not applicable: raised in cultivation. The parent group grows mostly from sea level to about 1000 m.
