Jelly-Beans Care

Do not let Jelly Beans sit in wet soil for long periods. Avoid abundant watering. Wait for the soil to dry completely before taking the watering can again.

Sedum rubrotinctum does not need pruning for better growth. However, you can do this to form a lovely bush or to propagate the plant.

The plant does not need abundant feeding. One time per month will be enough. Use a low-nitrogen fertilizer or special products for succulents.

Like most succulents, Sedum rubrotinctum likes bright sunlight. You should place the plant on the windowsill to preserve the attractive reddish tint on the tips of the leaves. However, if your windows face south, move the succulent to partial shade in the summer to avoid burns from the active sun.

The soil for Sedum rubrotinctum should be well-draining. Use a sandy mix or a special mix for cacti and succulents.

You can quickly propagate Jelly Beans by leaf or stem cutting. The plant can also propagate independently. However, the easiest way is through stem cutting. Break off or cut the stem and immerse it in fungicide. After that, put future plants in moist soil for succulents. Roots will appear after a couple of weeks.

The best temperature for Jelly Beans is 65-80°F (18-27°C). You can grow the plant outside. However, you should bring it indoors when temperatures drop below 50°F (10°C) at night.

Choose a pot that is slightly larger than the root system. Do not focus on the stems because they are much larger and broader than the roots. The container can be made of any material but must have a drainage hole.

Although the plant resembles sweets, it is better not to try to taste it because it is poisonous to animals and people.
