Where it grows wild

Wild records cluster on the semi-arid uplands of Hidalgo, Querétaro and San Luis Potosí. Little is published on its exact microhabitat; like most highland Echeveria it most likely grows on rocky slopes in xerophytic scrub and open oak scrub, in bright but not fully exposed spots.

Recorded at 985–2,251 m, median 1,932 m (55 records).
