Billbergia is a genus of rosette-forming bromeliads, mostly epiphytes that grow on trees, with colorful leaves and flowers. Key to growing them is bright indirect light, a loose airy mix, and keeping water in the central leaf cup.
Billbergia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Bromeliaceae, subfamily Bromelioideae.
They are native to forest and scrub, up to an altitude of 1,700 m (5,577 ft), in southern Mexico, the West Indies, Central America and South America, with many species endemic to Brazil.
