Sedum stahlii

A small succulent subshrub up to about 15 cm, with plump bead-like leaves that redden in strong sun. It comes from seasonally dry highlands of Puebla, Veracruz and Oaxaca, mostly around 2000–2500 m. Grow it in strong light with cool nights, and keep it on the dry side through the dry winter.

Where it grows wild

Seasonally dry, open highland scrub and rocky ground in central Mexico. This is inferred from the dry-area range and the genus, since detailed habitat accounts are thin.

Recorded at 1585–2512 m, median 2194 m.
