This succulent is commonly known as the Jelly Bean Plant or Green Eggs due to its plump, bean-shaped leaves.
Jelly Bean Plant
Sedum hernandezii
Care:
Light:
This plant thrives in bright, direct sunlight for at least 6 hours daily to maintain its vibrant green color and prevent legginess.
Water:
Like most succulents, it's drought-tolerant and susceptible to root rot, so water thoroughly but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings, especially during dormant winter months.
Temperature:
It prefers warmer temperatures (60-75°F/15-24°C) but can tolerate slightly cooler conditions. Protect it from frost if growing outdoors in colder climates (USDA zones 9-11).
Soil:
Use a well-draining soil mix designed for succulents and cacti, ideally with added perlite or pumice to enhance drainage and aeration.
Propagation:
Easily propagated from stem or leaf cuttings. Allow cuttings to callous before planting in well-draining soil and misting lightly until roots establish.
