Sedum microstachyum

A small, rarely recorded Sedum endemic to the high Troodos mountains of Cyprus, where it grows on rocky ground around 1,650–1,800 m. Little is published about its cultivation; treat it like other small Mediterranean mountain sedums, with a cool wet winter and a dry, hot summer.

Where it grows wild

Rocky and stony open ground in the pine-forest zone of the Troodos massif; details of its exact microhabitat are thin, so this is inferred from the records and from related Mediterranean sedums.

Recorded at about 1,650–1,800 m in the Troodos mountains.
