Florida Bromeliad Conservation Working Group, 2019

The Mexican bromeliad weevil (Metamasius callizona) has been decimating certain native Florida bromeliads, particularly Tillandsia utriculata and Guzmania monostachia. It also attacks many cultivated species.

Please join experts from around the state to learn more about this threat to our iconic Florida epiphytes, and discuss possible solutions to reverse their loss.
