Vriesea seideliana

A Vriesea of the montane Atlantic Forest of Espírito Santo, with most of its many records around Santa Teresa at about 800–1100 m. Nothing is published on its care; grow it like other intermediate Atlantic Forest tank Vriesea, with bright filtered light, high humidity and a cool winter.

Recorded from 800 to 1130 m, median 885 m; one record from southern Bahia.
