Sedum pachyphyllum, also known as Blue Jelly Beans, is a delightful succulent that is native to Mexico. This small, low-maintenance plant grows up to 30 cm tall and branches freely, spreading over time by rooting stems and fallen leaves. Its club-shaped, fleshy leaves are silvery-green in color, often tipped with red, and have a light coating of powdery farina. This gives the plant a unique appearance that is enhanced when it is grown in bright sunlight, which can cause a pink blushing effect on the leaf tips.
During summer, Sedum pachyphyllum produces clusters of bright yellow, star-shaped flowers on erect or reflexed flower stalks. These flowers are a beautiful contrast to the blue-green foliage of the plant, which resembles fingers.
This plant is ideal for those who want a low-maintenance addition to their collection. Sedum pachyphyllum needs very little attention or care and can thrive in conditions where other plants may struggle. It is perfect for that part of your yard that gets too much sun or too little water to grow anything else.
To ensure the best growth, plant Sedum pachyphyllum in well-draining soil with 50% to 70% mineral grit such as coarse sand, pumice, or perlite. Water deeply enough for water to run out the drainage hole, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again. Sedum pachyphyllum thrives in bright light to full sunlight and does well in average warmth temperatures between 18-26°C. It requires monthly feeding during the growing season and should be repotted only when it becomes pot-bound.
Sedum pachyphyllum is easily propagated from stem cuttings or mature leaves, which root easily. When growing this plant indoors, watch out for common pests like Mealy Bugs and Scale Insects, which can be treated with Neem oil or Insecticidal soap.
In summary, Sedum pachyphyllum, or Blue Jelly Beans, is a delightful succulent that is easy to care for and perfect for those who want a low-maintenance addition to their collection. Its unique appearance and beautiful yellow flowers make it a beautiful addition to any garden or indoor space.
