Werauhia stenophylla
A narrow-leaved epiphytic bromeliad from the premontane and lower montane wet forests of Costa Rica and western Panama. Grow it like a cool-intermediate cloud-forest tank bromeliad: bright filtered light, constantly humid moving air and soft water in the cup.
Where it grows wild
Grows on trunks and branches in very wet forest, mostly at mid-elevations. The details are generalised from Werauhia, an epiphytic genus of humid Central American forests, since little is published on this species.
Recorded at 400 to 1,690 m, with a median of 1,326 m, which places it mainly in lower montane cloud forest.
