Brief

The Jelly Bean Succulent, also known as Sedum rubrotinctum, is a charming and low-maintenance succulent named for its plump, jelly bean-shaped leaves. The leaves transition from green to vibrant red or orange when exposed to bright sunlight, adding a splash of color to any garden or indoor space. This trailing succulent is perfect for hanging baskets, rock gardens, and decorative pots.

Care Instructions:

1. Light: Prefers bright, indirect sunlight or partial to full sun. The more sunlight it gets, the redder its leaves become.

2. Watering: Water sparingly, only when the soil is completely dry. Reduce watering in winter to prevent root rot.

3. Soil: Use well-draining succulent or cactus mix to prevent excess moisture retention.

4. Temperature & Humidity: Thrives in warm temperatures (65-80°F / 18-27°C). Protect from frost and avoid high humidity.

5. Fertilizing: Feed with a diluted succulent fertilizer once every 2-3 months during the growing season (spring & summer).

6. Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Ensure the pot has drainage holes.

7. Pest Control: Keep an eye out for mealybugs and aphids. Treat infestations with neem oil or insecticidal soap.

With proper care, the Jelly Bean Succulent will continue to thrive, bringing vibrant color and charm to your plant collection!
