Product Description:
This plant is a native of Mexico. It’s a bush forming or ground-hugging succulent. We can call it by different names such as jelly beans, many fingers, blue jelly beans. It has yellow-green leaves that cluster densely at stem apex with noticeably redder leaf tips and is often used as an ornamental plant. It attains its height up to 30cm. It produces five stellate flowers in April-May, and its leaves are evergreen. Sedum pachyphylllum is one of the most typical succulent varieties. The leaves look like fingers and have reddish-pink tips if fully healthy.
Light:
It is a stress-tolerant plant and hence bloom better in both direct sunlight and partial sunlight. The plant can also grow indoors if kept in bright light conditions.
Water:
Before watering, check the soil a few inches deeper. If it is dry, then it’s high time to water it. Give water once every 3-4 days during summers and once every week or two weeks during winters.
Fertilizer:
Slow-release fertilizers with a low to moderate nitrogen content incorporated into the potting mix are usually adequate for the growth of the sedum.
Soil:
These plants can grow even in limestone soils as long as they are well drained.
Temperature and Humidity:
These desert-dwellers do best in hot, dry conditions and will struggle to survive in overly humid environments. They are not frost-tolerant, although they can grow well outdoors aif temperatures don’t drop below 20 degrees Fahrenheit (-6.7 degrees Celsius)
Propagation:
we can propagate it by using leaf or stem cuttings. Its leaf has the potential to grow into a new plant. To propagate a plant from a stem cutting, cut off leaves located on the stem and allow them to dry & then place them into the soil. To encourage growth, ensure that the potting soil remains slightly moist until the cutting shows signs of growth.
Potting and Repotting Jelly Bean Succulents:
Jelly bean succulents are slow-growing and don’t mind being pot bound. As such, they do not require frequent repotting and can usually do well in the same container for up to two years.
