Botanical Name:
Othonna capensis
Common Names:
Ruby Necklace
Plant Category:
Succulent
Plant/Product Description:
Othonna capensis, commonly known as Ruby Necklace, is a striking trailing succulent with small, bead-like leaves that are vibrant green when young, gradually transitioning to a deep purple-red color as they mature. This succulent is known for its cascading growth habit, making it an excellent choice for hanging baskets, succulent arrangements, or as a unique accent in small containers. In the spring, Othonna capensis produces yellow daisy-like flowers that complement its colorful foliage.
Plant Care Notes:
- Sunlight: Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate a few hours of direct sun. Full sun enhances the purple coloration.
- Watering: Water thoroughly when the soil is dry to the touch. Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings to prevent root rot.
- Soil: Requires a well-draining succulent or cactus mix with added perlite or pumice for optimal drainage.
- Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 70°F and 85°F (21°C to 29°C). Not frost-tolerant and should be protected from freezing temperatures.
- Dormancy: Othonna capensis is dormant in the winter, requiring minimal water during this period.
- Propagation: Can be propagated by stem cuttings or seeds.
- Pests: Generally pest-resistant but may occasionally attract mealybugs or aphids.
Toxicity:
Othonna capensis is non-toxic to humans and pets, making it a safe addition to homes and gardens.
