Werauhia notata

A tank bromeliad of montane wet and cloud forest from Costa Rica to western Colombia, mostly recorded around 1400–1700 m. Treat it as a cool-intermediate epiphyte: bright filtered light, high humidity, a steady night drop and a tank that stays filled.

Where it grows wild

Most records come from the Tilarán and Central cordilleras of Costa Rica (including the Monteverde area), with outliers in the Colombian Western Cordillera. Like its relatives it is assumed to grow epiphytically in mossy, cloud-bathed forest.

700–2275 m, median 1630 m; lower montane cloud forest.
