Werauhia vittata

An epiphytic tank bromeliad from wet forests from Belize to Ecuador, most often recorded in Costa Rica and Panama. Like other Werauhia it has soft, unarmed leaves and wants shaded, warm, very humid conditions with steady moisture. It suits a warm terrarium or humid greenhouse better than a dry windowsill.
