Clear filtersSedum rubrotinctum – The Jelly Bean Succulent That Pops with Color
Native to Mexico, Sedum rubrotinctum gets its nickname from its plump, jelly bean-like leaves. These fleshy, glossy leaves are typically bright green but turn vibrant red at the tips when exposed to full sun or during cooler temperatures.
It grows in trailing clusters, making it perfect for hanging planters, mixed arrangements, or shallow bowls. Over time, it may produce yellow, star-shaped flowers in spring, adding another layer of charm to this already adorable plant.
Plant Care Tips
Light:
Loves bright, direct light. Full sun brings out the red tips, but provide some afternoon shade in very hot climates to prevent sunburn.
Watering:
Use the soak-and-dry method. Water thoroughly when soil is dry, and avoid letting the plant sit in water. Cut back in winter.
Soil:
Needs fast-draining cactus or succulent mix. Add perlite or pumice for extra drainage.
Temperature:
Best in warm conditions (18–28°C). Not frost-tolerant—bring indoors if temps drop below 10°C.
Humidity:
Thrives in dry environments. Keep away from overly humid spots.
Fertilizer:
Feed once a month in spring/summer with a diluted succulent fertilizer. No need to feed in dormancy.

Common Problems Faced
Leaf Drop: It’s normal for some lower leaves to fall off. But if it’s excessive, you may be overwatering or handling the plant too much.
Sunburn: Too much intense sun too quickly can cause scarring. Acclimate gradually to direct light.
Stretching (Etiolation): Insufficient light causes elongated, leggy growth. Move to a sunnier location.
Pests: Occasionally affected by aphids or mealybugs. Treat with neem oil or insecticidal soap if needed.
