Where it grows wild

The records lie in the mountains of Oaxaca and Chiapas. There, Sedum of this kind grow on rocks, mossy banks and sometimes tree trunks in pine-oak and cloud forest. Habitat details specific to this species were not found, so this is inferred from the genus and the region.

Sites sit at about 2,180–3,170 m, well above the climate grid's elevation, and the temperatures have been adjusted for that.
