Highlights
Pink Jelly Bean (Sedum rubrotinctum 'Aurora'): A long-time favorite soft sedum from Mexico. This stemmed grower has round, fleshy leaves that spiral up its stem. It varies in color from pale green to pink and cream, with the brightest pigments showing when it's grown in bright sunlight. It makes it a wonderfully colorful accent in potted arrangements.
Please Note: S. rubrontinctinum has naturally fragile leaves that can fall off readily, particularly in transit.
Jelly Bean is an excellent grower as long as it is not left in heavy, moist soil. It is exceptionally tolerant of full sun and drought, but it does need protection from frost. Fortunately, Jelly Bean can easily overwinter indoors if it is in a container with a drainage hole and gritty, well-draining soil. Water deeply, but only when the soil is completely dry.
Over time, Jelly Bean will form prolific clumps and the stems will become long enough to sprawl and gently cascade from containers. In spring, it produces clusters of tiny, yellow flowers that attract pollinators. This variety is one of the easiest to propagate and it will readily grow roots from both stem cuttings and leaves.

These are zone 10 plants, however, with a few adjustments you could make them work in zone 9.
If you hang them close to a house or other heated structure, the residual heat can be enough to help them escape a light frost.
Also, if you see on the weather forecast that a cold snap is coming, cover your plants with a breathable material for the night and that can help keep the frost off of them.
Being very careful not to overwater is always a good practice for succulents, but it becomes especially important in this case. Even soft succulents like jelly bean can handle some cold if their soil is dry. Cold and moisture together are a death trap for soft plants.

The pink color is brought about by healthy stress from sunlight and drought. Sometimes trees or other buildings can block light for a few hours a day. Be sure your plant is receiving at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. If it is, then overwatering may be an issue. Please note, even if you're watering infrequently, a soil can hold on to too much water if it's not mixed right. Repotting into grittier soil or watering less often may help.

Thick-leaved succulents like this do have a harder time in humid, rainy climates. You could try planting it in this super well-draining soil and pull it under cover during rains. Or grow it indoors on a sunny sill.
If you do want to grow succulents outdoors, these Kalanchoe tend to tolerate humid, rainy conditions better than other succulents.

Succulents need grittier soil than other plants because they are adapted to dry conditions and store water in their leaves. Regular potting soil mixes stay damp for long periods of time, which can cause rot in succulents. Instead, use a sandy, well-draining soil so you can water thoroughly without leaving your succulent in standing water.

Our plants can be transplanted immediately upon arrival.
If you want to wait to transplant, they can remain in their original containers for up to a month. If the pots came in a plastic carrier tray, remove the pots from the carrier tray prior to the first watering.
Keep the plants indoors near a sunny window or outdoors under a roof (only if outdoor temperatures stay above your succulent's minimum hardiness temperature). Water only after the soil is fully dry by drenching from above with a faucet, hose, or watering can. Gently shake excess water from the leaves and allow containers to drain completely.

Fertilizing is not necessary, but it is a good option for succulent growers who want to encourage faster, larger growth. It can be used on mature plants with established roots. Only fertilize in the growing season (spring and summer for most varieties) to avoid weakening or burning dormant plants. Use a light touch and make 2-3 applications of low-Nitrogen, diluted fertilizer each year (N-P-K ratio around 5-10-10). You can find specially-formulated cactus / succulent fertilizers in most garden centers or go organic with compost tea or bone meal.
Example: Miracle-Gro Quick Start, diluted to half strength
