Just like other succulents, Jelly Bean is also low-maintenance and can thrive on negligence. However, there are certain things you should keep in mind.

• Light: Sedum jellybean plants need a sunny spot to maintain their colorful leaves. Most of the time, these plants grow in areas where nothing else survives because of hot, dry conditions. However, extreme sunlight can damage its leaves, so plant it in an area where it can get 5-6 hours of sunlight.
• Watering: Water the plant once or twice in a week and allow the soil to completely dry off before watering again. During the rainy season, reduce the frequency of watering. Over-watering can lead to root-rot or fungus gnats.
• Soil: Use well-draining soil such as sand, perlite, organic compost mixed with cocopeat and a limited amount of potting soil.
• Temperature and pests: The plant thrives in temperatures between 5-35°C and you have to protect it from frosts and heat waves. While pests are rare on Jelly Bean, keep an eye out for mealybugs and scales. Remove them with an alcohol-soaked cloth or Q-tip.
