High altitude plant. Doesn't do well in lowland.

Looks like an Alcantarae odorata.

I grow this outdoors and it seems to do fine okay so far...

Pre-rainy season:


During rainy-season(now):

Mine seems to grow better with more sunlight than in shady place.

Hi, Piglonggrass. Are you from Malaysia? May I know where you get your B. reducta? Mind to show us a photo?

[piglonggrass]

I'm from Malaysia. Bought it at Putrajaya during a fair. Will snap some photos for you to judge if it is indeed a Brocchinia reducta. From some Google image search, it looks like it, shape like it BUT doesn't know if it is.

There's a lot of bromiliads out there isn't it

My carnivorous bromeliad--B. reducta. Grow under 50% shade cloth.
