A fairly large grower, to about 12 inches across, with very wide recurving leaves and serrate spines resembling the marnierlapostolle parent.  Colors range from reddish with white spines to all silver. Outstanding silver beauties! Some have serrate spines resembling the marnierlapostolle parent, others have larger, stouter ones. 

A medium size growing terrestrial bromeliad. Maturing at 10 inches across, narrow tapering green leaves that are covered with silver white scurf. Grows best in bright light to full sun. Like most Dyckias it prefers to be watered weekly during the dry hot weather.
