Got it in good condition. My first challenge. Seems not to be easy to grow here around Tokyo. I'll try my best.
This species from Ecuador was published in 1991 by Harry Luther and named after the avid plant collector, Jerry Raack. One may think that it is a Vriesea species as its foliage and spike are more reminiscent of a Vriesea than Tillandsia. The wine colored foliage which sometimes will have spotting on the upper surfaces, has a waxy-powdery patina which contrasts beautifully with the white inflorescence. A very short scape will hold 3 - 7 flat, white spikes with white flowers. Habitat is at 1900 meters and therefore prefers slightly cooler temperatures. Will produce 1 - 2 offsets. Rare in collections.
