In their native Brazil, they are found growing on the ground and on decaying logs. Since they closely resemble Neoregelia, the names are often confused.
Nidularium innocentii var. innocentii has dark, maroon-green leaves twelve to twenty inches long. The white-petaled flowers bloom deep in the bronze-hued nest of the inner leaves. They prefer intermediate temperatures, shady light, and even moisture.
