Abstract
Billbergia pyramidalis is a highly valued ornamental plant for landscaping and container use; under tropical conditions, it is necessary to generate information regarding the irradiance levels it can tolerate, as well as its response to fertilization. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of light intensity and fertilization on the growth of Billbergia pyramidalis (Sims) Lindley under nursery conditions. A completely randomized design with a factorial arrangement of four treatments and four replicates was used. Plant height and lateral spread, number and length of leaves, and leaf chlorophyll content were evaluated. The plants exhibited greater growth and higher chlorophyll levels under shaded and fertilized conditions. The treatments applied did not affect the number or length of the leaves.
