    Othonna capensis 'Ruby Necklace', commonly known as the Ruby Necklace or String of Rubies, is a captivating succulent native to South Africa. This plant is celebrated for its trailing stems adorned with fleshy, bean-shaped leaves that can display vibrant hues of magenta, burgundy, and purple, especially when exposed to direct sunlight or cooler temperatures.

    Key Characteristics:

    • Foliage: The plant features elongated, bean-shaped leaves that are typically green but can take on striking shades of magenta, burgundy, and purple when moderately stressed by direct sun, drought, or cool temperatures.

    • Growth Habit: It exhibits a trailing growth pattern, with stems that can extend up to 2 feet (60 cm) in length, making it ideal for hanging baskets or as a cascading plant on shelves.

    • Flowers: During the growing season, the Ruby Necklace produces small, yellow, daisy-like flowers that contrast beautifully with its colorful foliage.

    Cultivation and Care:

    • Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate some direct sunlight, excessive exposure may cause leaf burn. In lower light conditions, the leaves may revert to green and the plant is more likely to become leggy.

    • Watering: Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has proper drainage.

    • Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as one formulated for succulents or cacti.

    • Temperature: Prefers warm conditions, ideally between 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C). Protect from drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.

    • Humidity: Average indoor humidity is sufficient. If the air is very dry, occasional misting can help.
