{"product_id":"sedum-rubrotinctum-jelly-bean-plant","title":"Sedum rubrotinctum - Jelly Bean Plant","description":"\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eThe Jelly Bean Plant, a hybrid species of Sedum, looks exactly as it sounds - tiny trails of succulent, jelly-bean-shaped leaves. It grows vertically until the stems get too heavy, at which point they'll grow slightly more sideways, spreading their jelly-bean-y goodness. These jelly beans look like a mix of flavours, though, as they are a bright lime green towards the stem and a strawberry red towards the tips. Inspiration for a new flavour of sweetie? Despite appearances, this one is definitely not edible, so to take care of it, make sure it's getting plenty of light, including a good few hours of direct sun, and let the soil dry between waters - and don't eat it... or tell any children that jelly beans grow on trees.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eScientific Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cem\u003eSedum\u003c\/em\u003e x \u003cem\u003erubrotinctum\u003c\/em\u003e (sitting plant, hybrid with red-dyed leaves)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSynonyms: \u003cem\u003eS. pachyphyllum × S. stahlii \u003c\/em\u003e(hybrid formula)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eThis plant is a hybrid between the species \u003cem\u003eSedum pachyphyllum\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eSedum stahlii,\u003c\/em\u003e bred in cultivation\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eCommon Name\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eJelly Bean Plant, Pink Jelly Beans, Pork and Beans Sedum\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eOrigin\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eThis hybrid was bred in cultivation, but the parent plants are both native to Southwest Mexico; S. stahlii has a slightly larger range, including the Gulf region of Mexico.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLight\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003eBright light will help to keep the jelly beans rose-tinted.
