Abstract:—In this third part of my series on introducing some uncommon bromeliad species
that are easy to grow, I will provide information on Aechmea capixabae from
Brazil, Tillandsia porphyrocraspeda and Tillandsia reuteri both from Ecuador
and Peru. I have grown all three of these species for more than 15 years, and
in that time, I have had several “near disasters” in my greenhouse that has truly
sorted out the strong and resilient plants from the weak and sensitive plants. I
consider all three of these to be strong and resilient plants that will grow over a
wide range of environments.
