Echeveria pulidonis
Echeveria pulidonis is a small clump-forming echeveria from the eastern Sierra Madre of central Mexico, with pale green, red-edged rosettes 13 to 15 cm across and yellow flowers in spring. It grows on rock and cliffs in pine-oak forest and ravines at roughly 1,100 to 2,200 m, a misty, summer-rainfall mountain climate, so it likes bright light, mild temperatures and a drier winter.
Where it grows wild
Rock faces, cliffs and ravine slopes in pine-oak forest around Necaxa and Huayacocotla on the Puebla, Veracruz and Hidalgo side of the Sierra Madre Oriental. Plants sit in thin mineral pockets that drain instantly but are often bathed in fog.
Herbarium and field records run from about 1,100 to 2,200 m, most between 1,600 and 2,200 m.
