Where it grows wild

Recorded along the Sierra Madre Oriental and the eastern edge of the central plateau. Like most Mexican Sedum it is likely to grow on rocks, cliffs, walls and thin soil in oak and pine-oak woodland or open scrub; no species-specific habitat notes were found.

Recorded at 711–2,800 m, median about 1,380 m.
