Still no pic.

is it there now?

If by 'blush' you mean good color, it will be result of plant receiving enough light. Christmas lights may be pretty, but they are not enough.

I know that those little lights won't be enough for light, they are just for decoration!

I was just answering your question ..."Any ideas on how to get this little guy to thrive and "blush"?"...

Are you getting better lights for it? Sedum adolphi grows quite 'rangy', and if it doesn't get strong light, will get very etiolated. It could be totally green or get golden-yellow, depending on growing conditions. And is very easy to propagate - most leaves will grow into new plants, or cuttings will root easily.

As for thriving, all succulents will do very well if potted in fast draining mix, in a container with drainage holes, and receive lots of light. This may sound quite general, but it works very well for succulents. IIRC, you mentioned using BonsaiJack mix - should be good as potting mix (I do not have personal experience with it, just read description of ingredients).

PS: I see interesting container...

Indoors it will need the most sun you can give it. More details HERE.

it used to be a decorative candle holder that long since hadn't had and candle in it. it's a cute glass one. ive seen glass terrariums and things online and thought this would work! why buy a container when you've got unique stuff at home? thanks for the advice! :)

Oh, I thought that it had holes in it...Does it have drainage hole? In general, terrariums are not suitable to grow succulents. Glass container in shape of pot could work, but without drainage hole it could be bit problematic.

the thing I've learned about glass is that you can see the water in the bottom. this and measuring how much I water has worked well so far. I have researched growing in containers without drainage holes, AMD the rule of thumb is half the container in ounces. it's been working so far. if there start to be really worrying signs of overwatering, I'll repot it in one with a drainage hole. :) (I check my babies everyday and am a little overprotective of them. my family says u have a problem:)) thanks for the advice!

to anyone that reads this or cares, it died. even though I love my succulents so much, I tend to baby them too much. oh well. I'll try to learn my lesson and not water them as often.

Sorry, but as suggested above, w/out drainage holes it really is only a matter of time 'til it dies. Even the most experienced among us don't do this; we understand how completely it compromises the plants, sooner or later. No wishing it otherwise will change that.

Also, pls know that overnurture is bad for succulents, what they do best w/ is benign neglect. Just so you know. Most of us have been there at one point or another. I trained myself to admire my plants w/ my hands behind my back (like Prince Charles used to do) so I couldn't fuss w/ them or water. My version of look but don't touch.
