The Jelly Bean Plant (Sedum rubrotinctum) is a colorful, low-maintenance succulent known for its plump, bean-shaped leaves that transition from green to red or orange in the sun. This compact, spreading plant is perfect for gardens, containers, or as an indoor decoration. It thrives in bright sunlight and well-draining soil, offering vibrant color and texture with minimal care. In summer, it produces small, yellow flowers that add to its charm.

Benefits:

•   Low Maintenance

The Jelly Bean Plant is incredibly easy to care for, requiring little water and attention once established.

•    Drought-Tolerant

Like most succulents, it’s highly drought-tolerant, making it an excellent choice for water-conscious gardeners.

•   Air Purifier

Succulents like the Jelly Bean Plant help purify the air by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, improving indoor air quality.

•   Aesthetic Appeal

Its colorful, playful appearance adds charm and beauty to any garden or indoor space.

Care Tips:

•   Sunlight

The Jelly Bean Plant thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate direct sunlight. The more sunlight it receives, the more vibrant its colors will become.

•   Soil

It prefers well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix. This prevents water from sitting around the roots, reducing the risk of rot.

•   Watering

Water sparingly. Let the soil dry out completely between waterings, and avoid overwatering. In winter, reduce watering as the plant enters a dormant phase.

•   Temperature

The Jelly Bean Plant thrives in temperatures between 60-85°F (16-29°C). It’s not frost-tolerant, so bring it indoors if temperatures drop below freezing.

•   Pruning

Remove any dead or damaged leaves to keep the plant looking tidy. It can be pruned to maintain shape and size if needed.
