Dyckia is a genus of stiff, spiny-leaved bromeliads from arid and high-altitude parts of Brazil and central South America, grown mainly for their rosettes and clumping habit. The key to growing them is bright sun and sharp drainage, as they prefer rocky or sunny sites.
Dyckia is a genus of plants in the family Bromeliaceae, subfamily Pitcairnioideae.
The genus is named after the Prussian botanist, botanical artist and horticulturist The Prince and Earl of Salm Reifferscheid-Dyck (1773–1861).
