Echeveria crenulata

Echeveria crenulata is a large-leaved rosette echeveria described by Rose from central Mexico, recorded in Morelos and the adjoining State of Mexico at about 1,400-1,800 m. Its home has hot dry springs and wet summers; it needs bright light, a free-draining mix and a dry winter.

Where it grows wild

Records cluster around Cuernavaca and Tepoztlán in Morelos. Published habitat detail was not reachable; the area's echeverias grow on rocky and lava slopes in seasonally dry forest.

Measured sites are about 1,450-1,750 m; few records carry an elevation.
