Where it grows wild

Little is published on its habitat. Andean Echeveria typically grow on rocky slopes, cliffs and among grass and scrub in open sun, and the measured site is a high, sunny inter-Andean valley slope.

The single climate site sits at about 3,390 m in the Cusco region; only 2 wild records exist and none carries an elevation, so the true range is unknown.
