Neoglaziovia is a genus of bromeliads, with its best-known member, Neoglaziovia variegata, grown in South America mainly for its strong leaf fibers used in weaving. Grow them like other terrestrial bromeliads: bright light, well-drained soil and water kept in the cup and soil lightly moist.
Neoglaziovia is a genus in the plant family Bromeliaceae, subfamily Bromelioideae. The genus is named in honor of Auguste François Marie Glaziou, French landscape designer and bromeliad collector (1833-1906).
Neoglaziovia variegata has been, and continues to be, an important part of localized markets in South America — where its fibers are woven into fabric, netting, and rope.
