Brocchinia reducta / b r ɒ ˈ k ɪ n i ə r iː ˈ d ʌ k t ə / [1] is a carnivorous plant in the bromeliad family. It is native to southern Venezuela, Brazil, Colombia, and Guyana, and is found in areas with nutrient-poor, high moisture soil.
Jamaican bromeliads are home to Metopaulias depressus, a reddish-brown crab 2 cm (0.8 in) across, which has evolved social behavior to protect its young from predation by Diceratobasis macrogaster, a species of damselfly whose larvae live in bromeliads. Some bromeliads even form homes for other species of bromeliads.
In its natural habitat, the plant, like other bromeliads, is most often pollinated by hummingbirds. However, it can also be pollinated by bees , bats , and other pollinators. [ 4 ] similar to how other bromeliads reproduce, this plant typically makes pups , although it can also breed in a normal way by making seeds .

Green-leaved species of Tillandsia generally live in cool-to-humid climates, in areas of terrestrial shade or the lower levels of a forest. [13] In contrast, almost all gray-leaved species live in precipitation-poor areas with high humidity. They prefer the full sun and can therefore be found in the upper floors of the woods, on rocks or ...
