How to care for Sedum pachyphyllum Rose (Jelly Beans) (4 inch)
Sun/Temperature: The optimal temperature for Sedum pachyphyllum Rose growth is between 65 and 80 °F. They have poor tolerance to cold and frost. Temperatures below 20 °F can cause the plants to freeze or even die. They prefer abundant sunlight, but shading is needed in high temperatures during summer to prevent leaf burn.
Soil/Watering: They dislike wet bases, so well-draining sandy soil should be chosen. Adding some perlite or pumice can improve drainage. Additionally, watering should be moderate, and excess water should be avoided to prevent root rot. The soak and dry watering method should be used. Also, avoid getting water on the leaves to prevent bacterial growth.
Fertilizer: Monthly fertilization using specialized succulent fertilizers is recommended, but over-fertilization should be avoided to prevent damage to the plant.
Propagation: For propagation, you can use stem cuttings. Gently twist the leaves from the stem, ensuring not to damage them. Let the wounds dry, then place the leaves on moist and well-draining soil. These leaf cuttings will root.
