Common Name: Pink Jelly Beans, Christmas Cheer Scientific Name: Sedum rubrotinctum “Aurora” Variety: Sedum
Common Problems: Similar to Burro’s Tail, Pink Jelly Beans is a delicate succulent. Brushing up against the plant can cause it’s leaves to fall off, leaving “bald spots” along the plant's stem. This means that you need to be careful when replanting it.
. Megan’s Thoughts: Pink Jelly Beans was one of my first succulents. I think that it’s pink and blue-green color definitely make it look like a kind of candy, so “jelly beans” is an appropriate name. I also like to use it because most trailing succulents are green, so it adds a splash of color. What I didn’t know about this succulent when I selected it to be the December spotlight is that it has another name, “Christmas Cheer.” How fitting!
