Echeveria juarezensis

A highland Echeveria of the Sierra de Juárez and nearby mountains around the Valley of Oaxaca. It grows in pine and pine–oak forest, on road banks and in ravines at about 2,100–2,900 m, where days are mild, winter nights are cold and summers are very wet. It suits a bright, cool spot with a dry winter.

Where it grows wild

Specimen labels record pine and pine–oak forest, ravines and road-cut banks. Plants likely grow on rocky banks and clearings in the forest, with sun for part of the day. Little else is published about its habitat.

Labelled records run 2,142–2,857 m, median 2,350 m. One record at 162 m near La Cumbre is an elevation error; La Cumbre on the Oaxaca–Tuxtepec road lies at about 2,700 m.
