Sedum moniliforme

A rarely recorded Mexican stonecrop from the southwest Mexico highlands, named for its bead-like leaves. Almost nothing is published on its habitat; grow it like other small highland Mexican sedums, with strong light, a mild dry winter and a wetter summer.

Where it grows wild

No wild records with coordinates exist; Mexican highland sedums of this kind usually grow on rock outcrops, cliff faces or mossy banks in pine-oak country. This is a genus-level assumption.

No recorded elevations; the single climate site was placed at about 2360 m in the Michoacán–México state highlands, which is typical for the region but not confirmed for this species.
