Sedum dimorphophyllum

A small high-alpine stonecrop from western Sichuan, recorded around 3,800 m where winters are dry and freezing and summers are cool and monsoon-wet. Treat it as a hardy alpine rather than a warm-climate succulent: bright light, cool nights, a gritty mix and a cold, dry winter rest.

Where it grows wild

Published habitat detail is thin; like other Hengduan Mountain alpine Sedum it most likely grows in rock crevices, scree and open stony meadows above the tree line.

The single measured site sits at about 3,770 m on the eastern Tibetan Plateau margin; alpine Sedum of this region generally range roughly 3,000-4,500 m.
