Sedum boninense

A small, frost-tender stonecrop endemic to the subtropical Ogasawara (Bonin) Islands of Japan, where it grows on sunny coastal rocks. Give it bright light, a very gritty mix and warm, humid conditions. It is far less cold-hardy than temperate Sedum.

Where it grows wild

Little is published for this species. It is assumed to grow like other island Sedum, on exposed rocky slopes and sea cliffs with thin soil and salt-laden winds.

Records lack elevations. The islands are low, so it grows near sea level up to a few hundred metres.
