Werauhia ringens

This is a widespread lowland tank bromeliad found from the Caribbean islands through Central America to Colombia and Ecuador. It is a warm-growing plant that likes constant humidity, bright filtered light and a full tank all year. Because it grows at low altitudes, it is easier than the cloud-forest Werauhia.

It grows as an epiphyte in humid lowland and foothill forests, usually on trunks and branches in partial shade. The habitat is inferred from the measured range and the genus.

Records run from 5 to 1,000 m, with a median of 150 m, so it is mostly a lowland plant.
