It is the pastel version of the classic jelly bean plant, and the colour is the whole point: keep it in strong sun and the tips deepen to sherbet pink and coral.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigins\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSedum rubrotinctum belongs to the Crassulaceae family and is a plant of garden origin, with parentage traced back to Mexico. 'Aurora' is a selected pink-toned cultivar. Like most stonecrops it evolved to store water in those swollen leaves, so it shrugs off dry spells and asks very little of you in return. It sits happily alongside the rest of our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/cacti-and-succulents\"\u003ecacti and succulents\u003c\/a\u003e and earns a place among our easy-going \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/small-plants\"\u003esmall plants\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLooking after it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive it the brightest spot you have, ideally a south or west-facing windowsill, because light is what keeps the pink. Water only when the compost has dried out completely, then soak and drain fully; in winter, water barely at all. A free-draining, gritty mix is essential, so pot it into a proper \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/substrates\"\u003esucculent substrate\u003c\/a\u003e and never let it sit wet. The leaves detach at a touch, which is mildly annoying but also how the plant propagates, so each dropped bean is a free new plant. As the stems lengthen and lean they make a pretty, spilling display in a raised pot or among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/hanging-plants\"\u003ehanging plants\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeep it above 5C and out of frost. The sap can irritate skin and the plant is mildly toxic if eaten, so site it away from nibbling pets and wash your hands after handling.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GrowTropicals","offers":[{"title":"8.5cm","offer_id":58142562451839,"sku":"SEDRUBRAUR85","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0361\/9645\/0348\/files\/sedum_e163070f-87ae-4c4f-90d8-30688b05dbe4.jpg?v=1786719110","url":"https:\/\/growtropicals.com\/products\/sedum-rubrotinctum-aurora","provider":"GrowTropicals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
