A stunning sport of the species that probably needs no introduction. Since its initial release it has been eagerly sought by collectors from all over the world. One of the upright, tubular or vase shaped species of Hohenbergia, it is a relatively small grower with thick, leathery leaves bearing huge marginal spines and curling downwards towards the tips. The form known as 'Karla' sported in the collection of Herman Prinsler of Germany and he named it after his wife. Now widely distributed but still much sought, easy to grow in 'typical' bromeliad conditions, perhaps a bit on the dry side.
