Tropicals
Sedum x rubrotinctum
Jelly bean plant
Plump, glossy leaves cluster along low succulent stems like little jelly beans. Their tips become cherry-red in strong light; lower light produces greener, leggier growth. It suits sunny small containers and can be propagated from detached leaves or stem sections.
