Its range is about 2,000&#160;km (1,200&#160;mi) long, encompassing mid-elevation <a href="/wiki/Tropical_and_subtropical_dry_broadleaf_forests" title="Tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests">tropical dry forests</a>. Most wild populations are on Pacific-facing slopes in steep canyons. Populations were once found in rolling hill areas, though many have gone extinct. It has been hypothesized that the inaccessibility of the canyons may protect the wild populations from human disturbance. There is a somewhat anomalous population of wild poinsettias in the northern part of the Mexican state of <a href="/wiki/Guerrero" title="Guerrero">Guerrero</a> and <a href="/wiki/Oaxaca" title="Oaxaca">Oaxaca</a>, which is much further inland in the hot and seasonally dry forests than the rest of the species' range.

Population sizes are frequently very small, with as few as a dozen individuals. Populations can be up to several hundred individuals, but this is not typical. A conservation risk typical for species with wild and cultivated populations is the contamination of the wild gene pool by hybridization with cultivated individuals. This has not been documented in wild poinsettias, though, as cultivars seldom flower and do not produce fruits.
