Vriesea schultesiana is a rare bromeliad from southeastern Colombia, known mainly from cultivation, and some botanists consider it a form of the more common Vriesea duvaliana. Grow it like other epiphytic or lithophytic vrieseas: bright filtered light, a loose airy mix, and water kept in the central rosette.
Vriesea schultesiana is a plant species of the genus Vriesea. This species is endemic to Colombia. It is rare, listed as "near threatened."
This species growth patterns have been open to conjecture as environmentally localised deformations of the more common Vriesea duvaliana as opposed to a distinct species. Found in subtropical or tropical moist montane forests and subtropical or tropical dry shrubland, the study of this species has proven difficult.
