Echeveria yoloxensis

A rarely recorded Echeveria whose name points to the Yolox area of the Sierra Juárez in northern Oaxaca, Mexico; almost nothing about its wild conditions is documented. Treat it like other cliff-dwelling Oaxacan highland echeverias: bright light, cool nights, a dry winter and very sharp drainage.

Where it grows wild

No wild records are available. Echeverias of the Oaxacan sierras typically grow on rock faces and steep rocky slopes in pine-oak country, rooted in thin mineral soil in crevices.

Unknown; Oaxacan highland echeverias mostly grow between about 1,500 and 2,800 m.
