Where it grows wild

Records carry locality but no habitat notes. The Miquihuana area is a mix of montane scrub and pine–oak woodland on limestone, and Echeveria there usually grow on rocky slopes and ledges; that is assumed here.

Recorded elevations are 1,133 m and 2,249 m; most records are near Miquihuana at about 2,200 m.
