Vriesea guadaloupensis

Vriesea guadaloupensis was described by Mez in 1896, and its name points to Guadeloupe in the Lesser Antilles. GBIF has no occurrence records for it, so almost nothing about its habitat can be confirmed. Treat it as a humid-forest tank epiphyte of the Antilles and grow it intermediate to warm, in bright shade.

Where it grows wild

Unconfirmed. Vriesea in the Lesser Antilles are mostly tank epiphytes of wet montane and submontane rain forest, and that is assumed here.

Unknown: no specimens with elevations were found.

🔒 Growing it like that

The wild conditions above, turned into targets for a shelf, a tent or a greenhouse. The full profile has:

✓ Day and night temperature targets, and the limits it tolerates
✓ Humidity band, and how to hold it
✓ Light as DLI and PPFD for a grow light
✓ Wet and dry seasons, and whether to rest it
✓ Substrate and airflow
✓ A step-by-step setup to grow it like the wild
