Where it grows wild

A hybrid of rocky slopes around Monte del Agua, Teno, where laurel-forest edges meet open cliffs in the cloud zone. It likely grows on volcanic rock in bright but often misty conditions.

Monte del Agua lies roughly 600–1,000 m; expect cooler, mistier conditions than the sea-level climate point.
