Succulent

Plant/Product Description:
Sedum rubrotinctum, commonly known as Pork & Beans, is a small, trailing succulent with vibrant, fleshy leaves that resemble jelly beans. The leaves are green, often tinged with red or orange at the tips, especially when exposed to stress from bright sunlight or cooler temperatures. Pork & Beans grows in a trailing form, making it ideal for hanging baskets or containers.

Plant Care Notes:

• Sunlight: Prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade. The more sun it gets, the brighter the colors on the tips of the leaves.
• Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch. Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings to prevent root rot.
• Soil: Requires a well-draining succulent mix with added perlite or pumice for optimal drainage.
• Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 70°F and 85°F (21°C to 29°C). Not frost-tolerant and should be protected from freezing temperatures.
• Dormancy: Sedum rubrotinctum is dormant in the winter and requires minimal water during this period.
• Propagation: Can be propagated by stem cuttings or leaves.
• Pests: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract mealybugs or aphids.

Toxicity:
Sedum rubrotinctum is non-toxic to humans and pets, making it a safe addition to homes and gardens.
