Long, rusty brown stems topped in clusters of bean-shaped leaves sporting hues of lime green, bright red, and maroon are sure to make it a standout in any succulent collection! With stems reaching up to 12 inches long at maturity, this relatively speedy grower is well-suited to hanging baskets or as a ‘spiller’ component in potted succulent arrangements, where its springtime yellow blooms will add yet another layer of contrast to this charming variety.

Native to the harsh landscapes of Mexico, jelly bean thrives in full sunlight and a porous soil mixture, mimicking the desert environment to which it is best adapted. Hardy only to Zone 9, this variety must be brought indoors in all but the most temperate of climates – though in doing so, take care to position it away from curious children or pets, who may be tempted to play with its adorable, but fragile, leaves.

To protect it from rot, be sure to utilize a well-draining pot, ensure ample airflow around the leaves and soil surface, and water in accordance with a thorough yet infrequent routine, such as the ‘soak and dry’ method.
