Echeveria tamaulipana

Echeveria tamaulipana is a little-documented rosette succulent from the Sierra Madre Oriental of Tamaulipas in north-eastern Mexico. The recorded sites lie at about 700-1,500 m, with a warm, summer-wet climate and a dry, mild winter. Grow it like other Mexican highland Echeveria: strong light, a gritty mix and a drier winter.

Where it grows wild

Specific habitat notes were not found; the recorded sites are on the lower slopes and ranges of the Sierra Madre Oriental, where Echeveria typically grow on rocky outcrops and slopes in dry oak or tropical deciduous forest.

The measured sites sit at about 700 m and 1,500 m; the lower site is warmer and more humid than the upper one.
