Introducing the Jelly Bean Plant, botanically known as Sedum rubrotinctum, is a charming, low-growing succulent admired for its colorful, bead-like foliage. Its cascading stems make it an excellent choice for hanging baskets, window boxes, and container arrangements, where its colorful foliage can spill over the edges beautifully.

Native to Mexico, this evergreen perennial is commonly called pork and beans or banana cactus due to its plump, jelly bean-shaped leaves that give it a playful and unique appearance.

This hybrid jelly bean succulent has small, fleshy leaves that start out green but develop vibrant shades of red, orange, or bronze when exposed to bright sunlight, making it a standout in any succulent collection.

It is often used as a ground cover in rock gardens or featured in decorative containers and dish gardens.

As the plant matures, Sedum rubrotinctum typically reaches about 8 inches tall and up to 24 inches wide, forming a spreading, trailing habit.

Jelly bean succulent flowers are yellow, small, and star-shaped, blooming in clusters at the tips of their stems.

While the blooms are subtle, they provide a delicate contrast to the bold foliage and usually appear in spring to early summer.

What truly makes the jelly bean succulent so popular is its combination of low-maintenance care and vibrant color transformation. It is drought-tolerant, easy to grow, and adapts well to both indoor and outdoor environments with proper light. Its ability to change color with sunlight adds dynamic beauty throughout the year.

When and How to Water Your Sedum rubrotinctum Plant

This jelly bean succulent is highly drought-tolerant and prefers drying out between waterings, making it more resilient to underwatering than overwatering.

The Sedum rubrotinctum should be watered once every 1-2 weeks during the growing season, with light soaking and minimal watering once every 3-4 weeks during the dormant season, with very light moisture.

During the active growing season, allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. This helps prevent overwatering, which can cause the Sedum rubrotinctum roots to rot.

During the dormant season, your jelly bean requires even less water. It's important to remember that succulents like the jelly bean plant are more tolerant of underwatering than overwatering.

Light Requirements - Where to Place Your Jelly Bean Succulent

When growing indoors, you can grow it in the areas where it can receive atleast at least 6 hours of bright, direct light to maintain their vibrant red coloring and compact, healthy growth.

Place it near a window that receives plenty of sunlight, but make sure to protect your jelly bean plants from direct exposure to intense sunlight, especially during the hottest parts of the day.

A south or west facing window works best, but protect it from harsh midday sun. If natural light is limited, you can use grow lights.

When growing outdoors, it loves basking in the full sun, so find a location in your garden or patio that receives at least 6 hours of direct sunlight each day.

When grown in direct sunlight, the color ranges from bright green leaves to red-tipped leaves, with the brightest hues. However, it's important to note that the jelly bean plant can also tolerate partially shaded areas, especially in regions with intense summer heat.

Newly purchased jelly bean succulent may burn if placed in full sun right away, so increase exposure gradually.

If the leaves stretch or turn pale, it needs more light.

If they become scorched or develop brown spots, it is getting too much sun.

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs

The Sedum rubrotinctum favors very airy, sandy soil that drains well, and NPK fertilizers once a year in spring. Planting your Sedum rubrotinctum in ordinary wet soil will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and, most likely, root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally, use our Go to Soil cactus mix blend 1 gal 4 qt cacti succulent dirt compost growing media that contains organic mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your jelly bean plants and other succulents to thrive.

A balanced, low-strength fertilizer works best for your Jelly bean succulent plant, ideally with an NPK ratio around 5-10-5, where phosphorus is slightly higher than nitrogen to support healthy growth. Apply fertilizer once in spring at the start of the growing season to give it a gentle boost to support stronger roots and better nutrient absorption.

Hardiness Zones & More

In the United States, this jelly bean succulent is mostly an indoor plant, but if you live in southern Florida or Hawaii, then you can cultivate it outdoors in USDA zones 9-11.

If you live in a colder climate, it's best to bring the jelly bean plant indoors or provide some protection during the winter months.

As for humidity, the jelly bean plant can handle a range of humidity levels, from drier to more humid environments. Just ensure that the soil has good drainage to prevent waterlogged conditions.

How to Grow as a Houseplant

Your jelly bean succulent grows best indoors in temperatures between 60°F and 75°F. It can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures during the winter months, but it's best to keep it away from drafts or extreme temperature fluctuations. As for humidity, the Sedum rubrotinctum jelly bean plant can handle average indoor humidity levels, so you don't need to worry too much about providing extra humidity. Just make sure the air isn't too dry, especially during the winter when indoor heating can cause dryness.

How to Propagate Your Sedum rubrotinctum Plant

To propagate your jelly bean plants, stem or leaf cuttings can be used. Both are simple and have a high success rate. Keep the cutting in a spot with bright, indirect light instead of direct sunlight, and give it some time until you begin to see new growth.

00 361 pages Hurricane Katrina spawned an awesome number of literary works

Format: Kindle

Salvage the Bones by Jesmyn Ward New York: Bloomsberry $24.00 361 pages Hurricane Katrina spawned an awesome number of literary works, and it may be that, given sufficient time to determine the full merits of Jesmyn Ward’s novel, Salvage the Bones, her work may be the most worthy. Perhaps the theory that great disasters (wars, natural disasters) invariably produce great works of art (operas, novels, paintings, etc.). This theory was often discussed by Flannery O’Conner who commented on the irony of the “creative renaissance” in southern literature which owes its origin to the extensive suffering and injustice associated with slavery and the Civil War. The narrator of Salvage the Bones is Esch, a fifteen-year-old girl living in Bois Sauvage, a predominately black bayou town which happens to be in the direct path of Katrina. Set in the twelve days leading up to, and just after the arrival of the hurricane, the novel presents each day as a distinct vignette. Esch and her brothers spend each day preparing for the terrifying arrival. They have no intention of leaving and attempt to help their drunken father reinforce their shack with sheets of plywood. They collect and store bottles of drinking water. Food supplies tend to consist of Top Ramen moon pies, vienna sausage, potted meat and eggs gathered in the woods. However, despite Katrina’s approach, Esch and her brothers seem to be primarily concerned about their white pit bull, China who has just given birth to five pups. China has developed a reputation in the dog fights that take place in “The Pit” in Bois Sauvage. She is a killing machine, a fact that makes Esch and her brothers the envy of their neighbors. The family’s meager economic security depends on China and each day is spent grooming, washes and feeding her. Indeed they fawn over the big dog, telling everyone that her puppies will grow up to have a killer instinct and therefore, they are invaluable. Much of the intrigue in Esch’s daily life revolves around protecting China and her pups. Skeetah is Esch’s oldest brother and the dog’s self-appointed trainer. Esch has a multitude of problems. She struggles to love her handicapped father and is haunted by the memory of her mother’s death. Now, she discovers that she is pregnant by Bois Sauvage’s “golden boy,” Manny, the boy who put the baby inside her is totally indifferent to the consequences of a rough and tumble frolic in the dark. As each day brings more distress, the homely, pug-faced teenager turns to her imagination, searching for a means to deal with the world around her, and as luck would have it, that is Edith Hamilton’s Mythology, which was a required reading at school. Esch begins to see the people around her as characters in her favorite book. She observes that all the girls in Bois Sauvage seem to be acting like their mythical counterparts: Psyche, Eurydice, Daphne - all of them running away from something or running after someone. However, the mythical character that Esch selects for her own role model is an ominous one. It is Medea, the fierce and vindictive wife of “the golden-haired Jason, who kills her own brother when he stands in the way of her love for Jason; and when that love turns to hate, she then murders Jason’s new wife, Creusa, her father, Creon and even kills her own children. Of course, Esch is not going to harm anyone. Although she is filled with rage at the world around her, she is actually one of the forces that is holding everything together; China, the white pitbull is another. When Katrina reaches landfall, it comes like some apocalyptic act of God, sweeping everything away, including Esch’s home and all of their feeble efforts to battle the rising water. In the end Salvage the Bones acquires a kind of epic grander. Like Noah or Gilgamesh, the waters finally withdraw, leaving a confused and humbled Bois Sauvage. How much has been lost? The puppies are gone and so is China - but given the dog’s character, she may have survived. Perhaps Skeetah and his brothers will find her. The reader is left with a singular image. Skeetah, the oldest brother sits in the wreckage of their home, and while everyone else is searching for missing children, furniture and cars, Skeetah looks at his brothers and announces, “She will come back to me.” Esch tells us: “He will watch the dark, the ruined houses, the muddy appliances, the tops of the trees that surround us whose leaves are dying for lack of roots. He will feed the fire, so it will blaze bright as a lighthouse. He will listen for the beat of her tail, the padding of her feet in the mud. He will look into the future and see her emerge into the circle of his fire, beaten dirty by the hurricane so she doesn’t gleam anymore. So, she is the color of his teeth, his eyes, of the bone bounded by his blood, dull but alive, alive, alive, and when he sees her, his face will break and run water. And what of Esch who loves the white dog? She says that China will look at me and know “I am a mother.” Hopefully, it is apparent that this is a remarkable book. However, it was almost lost in the loud braying and confusion that dominates much of publishing business now. Even so, it won the National Book Award in 2011. Now, after a strange silence, it is beginning to get the attention that it deserves.

however the family takes precautions leading up to the storm to plan for one of the worst natural disasters in American history

Format: Paperback

Salvage the Bones is a deeply personal account of a young woman, Esch, and her family's life in the few days before Hurricane Katrina. The novel is set on the family's land in a small town in Mississippi. She lives with her father, her mother seven years deceased, and her three brothers, Skeetah, Randall, and Junior. Esch has recently learned that she is pregnant with the child of one of her older brother's friends. Skeetah takes care of his pitbull, China, helping her give birth and grooming her to fight for the family's honor. Randall plays basketball in hopes of gaining a college scholarship. Junior is a product of the mother's death, as she passed away giving birth to him, and leaves the family to mother him for the rest of his life. The novel describes the family's relationships with one another before the hurricane will rock them and test their connections to one another. The novel is not set decisively around the hurricane, however the family takes precautions leading up to the storm to plan for one of the worst natural disasters in American history. Jesmyn Ward provides a semi-autobiographical context of the hurricane, as she was born in a small, rural community in Mississippi, similar to the one she describes in Salvage the Bones. Ward writes commonly in this tone, and her newest novel, Men Who Reaped, describes the lives of four men in her life that had suffered deaths far too young. The novel is poetic in its writing style, and a beautiful read. Ward describes herself as a "failed poet," however, by reading the novel, it is clear that she succeeds in her poetry. Metaphors follow each line of description, and Ward is able to connect figurative language with the colloquial language of characters living in a rural community. It is undeniably pleasurable to read through the pages. Ward creates lovable characters and leaves the reader longing to discover what happens after the hurricane, and how the favorite characters are surviving in the wake of the natural disaster. There is a large dog presence throughout the novel, in addition to family ties, the novel provides a sense of companionship and a person's human relationship with his dog. The dog becomes a member of the family, and the relationship is called into question with the severity of the storm and the need to hold onto the most important things in times of crisis. I am overwhelmed with the poetic nature of this book and applaud Ward as an exceptional writer.

A deceptively brilliant novel.

Format: Kindle

This novel does a great job of weaving careful diction and sentence structure to give each chapter a sort of charm. The writing is definitely one to praise and cherish. However, this is unfortunately where most praise ends. The novel is incredibly slow and has very little points. The whole entire time, we are made to believe that Katrina is at the core of the story when in reality, it only spends about 2 chapters really focused on the disaster itself. Although, I would still recommend this novel if you are looking for a more slice of life in the middle of Mississippi. But it's not the ultimate tale of disaster it was made out to be.

Listening to Life

I don't remember why I bought this book. It probably wasn't that it won the National Book Award for 2011; more likely that it's about the Mississippi coast in the time prior to Hurricane Katrina. I have family living on that coastline, and have visited the area many times, being from the not-so-far-away Louisiana "hill country." (Don't laugh - there are some.) I'm white, though, and while all Southerners of all classes and races interact (although they sometimes don't act like it), this book has a lot to say about the underprivileged of all ilks throughout the South. The book is about a black family - or what remains of one - in the two weeks or so leading up to Katrina. The principal character and narrator is the girl of the family, Esch, and she's pregnant. Esch has an alter ego of sorts in her brother Skeetah's pit bull, China, who in the first few pages gives birth to her first litter. Skeetah is something of a dog whisperer, and his hold on China is little short of magical. There's another brother, Randall, who has hoop dreams, and a late addition to the family, Junior. A young lad named Manny has done the dirty with Esch; she's in love with him, and is reluctant to tell him she's pregnant. She goes through all the usual throes of morning sickness, having to guess what's going on in her biology, but she's a plucky kid, and she perseveres. When Katrina hits, the family, which has already been turned upside down by poverty and the brood's mother's earlier death, is turned - I don't know - sideways. But this isn't a story about victimization. It owes a lot to Hugo's underclass in Les Miserables - they improvise, they adapt, they attempt continually to overcome. Ward's book leaves us with a poignant ending, but one with resilience and promise. Jesmyn Ward knows how to hold a reader, she takes us deep into the souls of Esch, particularly, but each of the others in the family as well. She paces her story like a pro, never leaving us in despair, with a hint of promise just over the horizon. The story's details are what continued to charm me: Esch-as-narrator's eloquence, her insight (although she often spoke more "street" in dialogue - but it works) into her condition, the family's ongoing plight as well as their separate and collaborative dreams. The attention to nature: the weather, of course, the dog's fleas, ants crawling across Esch's toes, the smell of the unkempt house, the feel of sweat, the ramen and Vienna sausages they eat. Even the details of a series of dogfights. This book clearly deserves the award. It's about life, and I can tell you it speaks to life as a Southerner, regardless of race, or color, or creed.

An important, powerful story

Format: Paperback

Salvage the Bones tells the story of an African American family in Mississippi in the days leading up to Hurricane Katrina. The narrative follows Esch, a young girl who has just found out she is pregnant and is reluctant to tell her brothers and father about it. Her father, with the help of her brothers, is preparing for the impending storm, certain that it will be devastating even when others doubt it. Additionally, her brother Skeetah tends to his dog who has just given birth, China. This novel tells an important story of survivors who are often overlooked. It is an intense and well-paced read, as both Esch’s baby and Katrina are constantly looming. I greatly enjoyed the interweaving of Esch’s family’s story with the broader history of Katrina that I am more familiar with; it really empowered me to consider the individual lives of all those affected and just how much was lost. The familial relationships in this novel are its best part— they are all so complex but feel very true to life. Ward’s writing is accessible and clear while still providing a rich and powerful reading experience. Sometimes, the novel felt a bit on-the-nose with its themes and allusions, to the point where I found certain images and phrases overly repetitive. However, that was just one small gripe to much richer reading experience. If you are interested in themes of maternity, poverty, survival, and climate, or simply want to experience a powerful and necessary story, I would recommend Salvage the Bones.
