About Jelly Bean Plant
Plants in the Sedum genus are super diverse, and are native to regions all over the world. Horticulturalists have bred them to create even more variietes that come in all manner of shapes and colors! Their succulent leaves help store water, and they are incredibly easy to propagate. Just gently pop off one of the leaves and with water and sunlight it will grow into a whole new plant. 🪴

How to fertilize Jelly Bean Plant
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Jelly Bean Plant after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

One of the stems on my jelly bean plant has been deteriorating I got this beauty like 2/3 months ago when she was just those at the bottom and she’s just been progressively growing more and more. The stem that’s circled was the first one to sprout to its fullest so I’m not supprised to see it go first. Does any one know what I should do with it, for example like how I would propagate it or just the most optimal way to cut it off to keep her happy and prevent growth?  #Succulents #JellyBeanPlant

Does anyone know what this is? I’ve only noticed it in the past day or so and I’m not sure what’s going on 😢 There’s something on the leaves that looks kinda fuzzy and white. What do I need to do?

Succulent cross-polination hybrids I recently learned that if you take the pollen from the bloom of one plant and use it to pollinate another plant, one will grow a seed pod and those seeds will grow a hybrid of those two plants (if they're similar enough). I'm not desperate to do this immediately, but if my Sedum and Echeveria ever happen to bloom at the same time, it would be a fun thing to try. Does this work if I get two succulents at a store that are already blooming at the same time? #succulentsquad #succulentlove #succulents

Sadly my plant Ellie has departed from me #RIPplant

What do I do? #PlantsMakePeopleHappy is this normal for a jelly bean plant?
-
Are these spots normal? I’m new in my succulent journey and I’ve noticed these brown spots on my jelly bean plant. Can anyone advise me? I really don’t want to kill it.

I thought my sedum was dying but here's some new growth!
-
Chat whats wrong with my plant? Can I fix it?
-
In need of soil tips, please 😊
-
Why is my sedum doing this? It's brown and crispy at the center. Is it getting too much light? It's about 2 inches away from a bright grow light and I water it every 2 weeks.
