Echeveria hyalina

A compact, grey-green rosette echeveria from the central Mexican highlands, where it grows on rocky slopes in oak and pine forest and in upland meadows. It is a cool-climate highland plant: strong light, a wet summer and a dry, cool winter with cold nights. It is easy in cultivation, and several horticultural forms exist.

Where it grows wild

On rocky slopes in oak and coniferous forest and in subalpine meadows, rooted in thin, stony, fast-draining soil and rock crevices. The open, rocky spots it favours get strong highland sun for much of the day.

Recorded between about 1,800 and 3,400 m. The few GBIF records carrying an elevation lie between about 1,200 and 1,950 m.

Central Mexico: Guanajuato, Querétaro, Hidalgo and San Luis Potosí
