Werauhia diantha

An Ecuadorian tank bromeliad known from only a handful of collections on the western Andean slopes of the north, at about 700–1,700 m. Treat it like other Werauhia: shaded, constantly humid, intermediate temperatures and a central cup kept topped up with clean water.

Where it grows wild

Werauhia are mostly epiphytes in wet, shady montane and premontane forest; this species is assumed to follow that pattern, as little is published on its own habitat.

Recorded at 700–1700 m, median about 1,440 m, from four records.
