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.

  1. If the leaves stretch or turn pale, it needs more light.
  2. 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. 

Wildlife - Jelly Bean Succulent Flowers Attract the Following Friendly Pollinators 

Jelly Bean Succulent 'Sedum rubrotinctum' can attract friendly pollinators such as bees, butterflies, hummingbirds, and other beneficial insects. These pollinators play a crucial role in the ecosystem by aiding in the reproduction of plants and ensuring biodiversity.

Butterflies
Bees
Hummingbirds

Other Birds

According to ASPCA, the Sedum rubrotinctum is mildly toxic to humans or pets if ingested in large amounts. However, it is safe to touch and handle, making it a popular choice for indoor gardens or landscaping due to its vibrant colors and low maintenance requirements.

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. 

Key Takeaways

  1. Jelly bean succulents are low-maintenance and drought-tolerant. They prefer infrequent watering and can handle dry conditions better than excess moisture, making them beginner-friendly plants.

A Rational Approach To Examine Competing Explanations
Format: Paperback
This is the first book I have read on an investigation into the resurrection event of Jesus. I found Licona’s approach clear and easy to follow. His writing style is very structured which I found to be valuable since he this book is thorough and covers a lot of material. Each chapter Licona begins with a brief outline of what he will cover and then he summarizes his main points at the end as well. Structuring the book this way was very helpful in following Licona’s reasoning and method from beginning to end. Licona begins by laying out his approach to historical inquiry. As someone who is not a historian and unfamiliar with the specifics of how historians approach their work, I found this section very useful in setting the stage for Licona’s investigation. For example, Licona has a section on “horizons,” which he defines as our “preunderstanding.” Essentially, horizons are our own perspectives based on our personal experiences and various influences such as culture, race, political, and religious experiences, that shape how we form our judgments and what we might choose to be an acceptable claim about reality. For example, whether miracles are possible. The goal is to mitigate horizons as much as possible and look at what the evidence has to say on its own. Since the goal of the book is to arrive at a conclusion pertaining to whether Jesus rose from the dead it is important to define what is meant by “best explanation” when we weigh competing hypotheses. Licona devotes a section to set criteria for a best explanation candidate. He establishes five criteria; explanatory scope, explanatory power, plausibility, less ad hoc, and illumination. Licona utilizes this criterion in the final chapter to weigh competing hypotheses. Furthermore, the critical insight that Licona focuses on is what he refers to as the “historical bedrock.” According to Licona, the historical bedrock includes three facts that are virtually undisputed by historians. Licona states his two criteria for the facts as strongly evidenced and those which contemporary scholars unanimously regard as historical facts. He navigates through various historical details surrounding the resurrection of Jesus and narrows down to three bedrock facts; Jesus died by crucifixion, shortly after Jesus’ death his disciples had experiences that led them to believe and proclaim Jesus was resurrected and appeared to them, and Paul’s conversion after experiencing a postresurrection appearance of Jesus within a few years after the crucifixion. Licona claims that the vast majority of scholars grant these facts as historical. With the bedrock laid, now one can weigh competing hypotheses against the bedrock itself to determine which explanation the best accounts for all three facts. As one weighs any available hypotheses against the bedrock facts, the idea is that one can minimize biases and infer the best explanation as to what happened to Jesus in the first century. Ultimately, Licona concludes that the best explanation is the resurrection of Jesus as claimed by Christianity. His conclusion comes after a thorough examination of six common explanations (including the resurrection hypothesis) and showing how each fails to explain at least one of the three facts except for the resurrection hypothesis. He spends a good deal of time interacting with scholarly work on different explanations. Licona concludes that the resurrection hypothesis best accounts for the three bedrock facts as well as fulfills all five criteria for a best explanation. Overall, I thought Licona’s method is thorough and rigorous, ultimately showing that the resurrection hypothesis cannot simply be dismissed. I also found Licona to be very candid. At the end of the book he admits that he was surprised at the “very certain” level which he awards the resurrection hypothesis after applying his method. I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in learning what can be determined about the fate of Jesus from a historical approach.

Excellent book on the historicity of the resurrection!
Format: Paperback
There are many books devoted to the resurrection of Jesus. Licona’s book is unique in that it takes “a new historiographical approach” to the resurrection by applying the principles of secular historical analysis to the question of whether Jesus rose from the dead. In applying the historical method, Licona seeks to understand the objective truth about what happened regardless of his subjective Christian beliefs on the matter. In fact, Licona readily admits his personal bias – or “horizon” – and his desire to see the historicity of the resurrection confirmed. However, as he points out, all historians have a “horizon” of some sort, and in his research and analysis, Licona is careful – some would say too careful perhaps – to set aside his “horizon” in order to objectively consider the evidence. Licona considers a variety of historical sources pertaining to the resurrection, both biblical and extra-biblical, weighing each source on a spectrum of historicity – from “certainly not historical” to “certainly historical.” Licona seeks to find the best explanation for the evidence according to five criteria: plausibility, explanatory scope, explanatory power, less ad hoc, and illumination. After examining the evidence, Licona concludes that there are three virtually undisputed facts that he calls “historical bedrock:” (1) Jesus died by crucifixion; (2) Jesus’ disciples had experiences that led them to believe that he had been resurrected; and (3) Paul converted after experiencing what he interpreted as a post-resurrection appearance of Jesus. Licona then weighs five naturalistic hypotheses for the resurrection, demonstrating how each of these views falls short of providing the best explanation for the historical bedrock. Licona ultimately concludes that the resurrection is the only hypothesis that meets all five criteria. In other words, Jesus’ resurrection from the dead provides the best explanation of the historical bedrock, and the historian is warranted in regarding Jesus’ resurrection as an actual historical event. Licona’s historiographical approach to the resurrection produces a very strong case for the resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth. I particularly appreciated Licona’s treatment of “horizon.” Licona is transparent about his Christian beliefs, but he demonstrates a willingness to go where the evidence leads and bent over backwards to remain objective. For example, Licona does not include the empty tomb as part of the historical bedrock since many scholars dispute the empty tomb. Some would take exception to this, but I believe it actually strengthens the case for the resurrection and leaves the skeptic with very little to argue. In other words, Licona is able to make a convincing case for the resurrection without considering what many Christians consider the best evidence – the empty tomb! I found the book very helpful, but keep in mind it is an academic work, and at over 600 pages, it is not necessarily an easy read. That being said, Licona’s book is outstanding and is a “must-read” for anyone seeking to understand the historical evidence for the resurrection or seeking to counter skeptical arguments against it. This is a great book to add to your library.

A fresh historical perspective to the Resurrection! -by Jamie D.
Format: Paperback
Although there have been countless books written about the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from a theological perspective, few have successfully tackled the Resurrection from the historical perspective. Dr. Licona has successfully done just that, applying a historical methodology to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. In his opening chapter, Dr. Licona begins by defining what is meant by history, the methods that one employs to study history as well as the limitations that comes when one studies history. It is here that he introduces useful terms to the readers that are re-introduce in subsequent chapter. Horizon, a synonym for bias, can play a critical role in how one perceives and presents history to others. To reduce horizon, Dr. Licona believes that there are six main principles that can help an historian maintain a more objective perspective when reporting history. One of these main principles is that of “historical bedrock” a consensus of what is majorly accepted and infrequently debated. Not only is a consensus important when one considers a hypothesis but a hypothesis that has a solid explanation is important as well. For a hypothesis to have the weight of believability, it must stand up to five different criteria as well. In chapter 2, Dr. Licona then turns his attention to the subject of miracles and their role in history and successfully debunks the most common presuppositions cited by the world’s most famous skeptics against the historicity of miracles. It is in chapter 3 that Dr. Licona employs the historical method to the Resurrection of Jesus Christ by examining both biblical and extrabiblical writings spanning within 200 years of the event. Upon the review of these various writings, he assigns a rating from “unlikely, possible-minus, possible, possible-plus, highly probably, indeterminate and not useful” to determine if they contain any historical weight in its regard to the independent testimony of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The historical bedrock principle is re-introduced into chapter 4 and is applied not only to the death of Jesus Christ but to His life as well. Dr. Licona notes that there many aspects of the Jesus’ life and death that are considered historical bedrock even among those with varied agendas. Dr. Licona concludes his book by examining some of the leading naturalistic hypotheses touted from the most prominent liberal and skeptics in this field. By employing the five criteria that gives the historian the most successful explanation, Licona concludes that it is not the naturalistic hypothesis which fits regarding the Resurrection, but the supernatural one. The supernatural hypothesis of the Resurrection is the most solid explanation since it fulfills both historical bedrock as well as meeting all five criteria for the best explanation and thus should be considered by any credible historian as a well attested event that occurred in the past. In summary, I highly recommend this book. As a believer of 40+ years, I learned things about my faith that I did not know about before. For example, I learned how the kerygma, an early Christian creed, lends historical weight to the Resurrection. My advice for believers is not to be intimidated by the voluminous size of this book. It was certainly well worth the read. Dr. Licona has done an excellent job in presenting the material through the perspective of a historian, so much so that one may temporarily forget that he is a theologian as well! Despite the myriad of footnotes peppered through the pages, the book was very easy to read and digest. In short, a must read for those who want to have a better understanding in how to engage skeptics from a different perspective when discussing the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. Get it! You’ll feel that much smarter and grounded in the faith once you’ve read the last page!

Don’t be intimidated...it's detailed, but systematic and rational
Format: Paperback
Don’t be intimidated by this 700-page tome. Once you factor in the bibliography, index and footnotes, the body of the work is only about 400 pages. Licona includes an all-important, detailed outline for quick reference back to key topics, and it’s valuable because of the variety of issues he tackles. I’d say, he does a wonderful job of giving us an objective, systematic approach to addressing the historicity of the events following Jesus’ crucifixion. Licona lays the groundwork for his examination of the issue by considering the philosophy of history and tackling things like what is truth, what makes something a historical fact, who has the burden of proof, and is history a science? As a needed addition to this philosophical introduction, he spends time outlining the methods he will use to approaching relevant texts, claims of miracles, and consensus facts. Most important, I think, to his methods was his self-examination of potential bias due to personal belief and worldview. He addresses what he calls a personal “horizon” that historians must be set aside in order to be objective and get at the truth. He certainly points it out in others along the way and makes it clear throughout the book that he is trying to identify and eliminate any potential bias he may bring to the process. In his investigation, he addresses the most important sources related to Jesus’ life, crucifixion and claims of the resurrection. He deals with both Christian and non-Christian sources that were written immediately following the events as well as within the following 200 years. Licona makes the case for authenticity and credibility of the most important sources, and where there have been challenges to these sources over the centuries, he addresses those challenges head on. Ultimately, he boils the events, claims, facts and sources down to what he calls the “bedrock” pertaining to the fate of Jesus. This bedrock consists of three facts that are well supported by authentic, textual evidence which enjoy nearly consensus support by all historians (both Christian and non-Christian). For Licona, the bedrock which need be answered are (1) Jesus’ death by crucifixion, (2) the claims Jesus appeared to individuals and groups following his burial, and (3) the conversion of the Church persecutor, Paul. Ultimately, Licona breaks down six different hypotheses which claim to explain the bedrock and he uses systematic criteria for weighing those hypotheses. He concludes that a resurrection is the best explanation but admits that it’s only by setting aside a naturalistic worldview that one can embrace the conclusion. I like Licona’s methodical approach but would offer two critiques. Do we really need all the Greek citations written out? I understand that there is nuance and variations in meaning for words that are used in the original sources, but to give us all the text and the translation seemed superfluous. Second, I think it was a cop-out to skim the importance of the empty tomb. Other historians put the fact of the empty tomb as one of their top facts to be explained, but Licona punted on it because he didn’t feel it received universal consensus. Consensus aside, the fact of the empty tomb does receive support by a strong majority of scholars, even ones that do not support the resurrection. This cross-section of scholarly support, along with the volume and type of textural evidence, namely the confirmation by Christian enemies, should have elevated the fact of the empty tomb to the “bedrock” which require explanation.
