Vriesea parviflora

A small-flowered Vriesea from the Atlantic Forest of Espírito Santo, with most wild records from the Santa Teresa highlands at about 800 m. Nothing is published on its care; grow it like other montane Atlantic Forest tank Vriesea, in bright filtered light with a cool winter.

Where it grows wild

Recorded in montane Atlantic Forest in Espírito Santo, mainly around Santa Teresa. The sources found do not describe its habit; it is treated here as an epiphyte, the usual habit for Vriesea in these forests.

Most records are near 800 m; one comes from near sea level in northern Espírito Santo.
