Echeveria globulosa

A small, clump-forming Echeveria described by Moran in 1966 from high ground in the Sierra Juárez of Oaxaca. It grows in a cool, very wet-summer montane climate, so unlike most Echeveria it wants cool conditions year round, bright but not baking light and a drier winter.

Where it grows wild

Records come from the high pine-oak and cloud-forest belt of the Sierra Juárez, where small Echeveria grow on rocks and banks among moss. Species-specific habitat notes were not reachable.

Recorded elevations run from about 2,400 to 2,800 m, with a median near 2,740 m.
