Great idea Cinta.
Sedum do need a lot more moisture than some other succulent plants. The water crystals are an excellent idea, along with line the interior with plastic, which will help retain moistures. Just be sure the plastic is pierced with hold at the bottom so excess water can drain.

There are a number of outstanding spurium type sedum that would do very well in those pots. They will give a lot more visual interest than the one you are using now.
Some of the newer ones have outstanding colors.
Like:
Raspberry Red Two-Row Stonecrop (Phedimus spurius 'Raspberry Red')
Red Carpet Two-Row Stonecrop (Phedimus spurius 'Elizabeth')
Fireglow Sedum (Phedimus spurius 'Fuldaglut')
Ruby Mantle Two-Row Stonecrop (Phedimus spurius 'Ruby Mantle')
Tri-color Sedum (Phedimus spurius 'Tricolor')
