Product Description

This potted Ruby Necklace succulent showcases the vivid color and elegant trailing form of Othonna capensis. The plant’s pickle-shaped leaves shift from green to rich purple-red when exposed to ample sunlight, while long, purple-tinged stems spill naturally over the edges of the pot. In spring, cheerful yellow daisy-like flowers emerge, standing out beautifully against the foliage.

The potted format makes this plant ideal for desktops, shelves, balconies, or patio décor. It also works well as a “spiller” in mixed succulent arrangements. With minimal watering needs and resilient growth habits, Ruby Necklace is an attractive, low-care option for anyone wanting a plant with both color and movement.

Recommended Uses

  • Indoor or outdoor potted décor
  • Shelf, desk, and windowsill placement
  • Mixed succulent arrangements needing a cascading element
  • Balcony or patio planters

About the Plant

Ruby Necklace (Othonna capensis) is a trailing succulent noted for its slender, pickle-shaped leaves that turn vivid red-purple in strong light. Its flexible stems create elegant cascading lines, complemented by occasional yellow daisy-like flowers. Fast-growing and drought-tolerant, it adds movement and color to hanging or elevated displays.

Plant Care

  • Light – Full sun to partial sun; stronger light produces deeper red-purple coloration.
  • Water – Water only when soil is fully dry; leaves will soften slightly when thirsty.
  • Soil – Very well-draining succulent or gritty mix to prevent root rot.
  • Temperature – Prefers 59–77°F (15–25°C); protect from cold below 41°F (5°C).
  • Fertilizer – Light feeding in spring and autumn; avoid fertilizing during extreme heat or winter dormancy.
