Pseudalcantarea

Pseudalcantarea is a striking bromeliad with broad, leathery leaves that often showcase vibrant colors, ranging from deep greens to purples. Its robust structure enables it to thrive as an epiphyte, clinging to trees in tropical forests. The plant's extensive roots not only anchor it securely but also aid in nutrient absorption from the humid air and decomposing materials nearby.
