One of the signature plants of the Panamanian forest; it is one of the most interesting and lovely of all Guzmanias. Its upright vase shape with leaves flaring out at the top, heavy banding with a club shaped inflorescence of bright orange and white make this an extremely decorative species. This stoloniferous plant is found from the mangrove forests to the cloud forests, but adapts well to pot culture, moist and shady.

*VIPP plants are Offsets

A species from Tamaulipas state of Mexico. An easy to grow species that forms large, silvery-scurfy rosettes. Oddly, the offsets come off with soft, glabrous leaves, developing the scurfy appearance that protects them from the sun, as they mature. The narrow, spiny leaves are rather soft (for a Hechtia) and the tips naturally die back and curl.
