Over- or underwatering is the main problem for new succulent growers. However, there are other problems you might face. Echeverias, Jades, and Sempervivums are all common succulents that can root in water. They are often "root bound" which means the roots have taken up all the space in the pot. A shallower pot will dry out faster than a taller one. Direct sunlight tends to dry out the plant and turns its leaves from green to yellow, which might be a sign that your plant is dying. Sedum Rubrotinctum (or Jelly Bean Plants) is an indigenous Mexican plant that produces jelly-shaped leaves.
