Description:
Othonna capensis, commonly known as Ruby Necklace or String of Pickles, is a trailing succulent native to South Africa. This drought-tolerant plant features bean-shaped, fleshy leaves that can retain water for extended periods, making it perfect for low-maintenance indoor gardens. The leaves turn a vibrant ruby-red or deep purple hue under bright light, adding an extra touch of beauty. During most of the year, the Ruby Necklace produces charming, daisy-like golden flowers that contrast beautifully against the trailing stems. It thrives when placed in bright, direct sunlight and watered infrequently, making it an excellent choice for sunny windowsills or hanging baskets.

- Drought-tolerant and easy to care for.
- Produces golden-yellow flowers for most of the year.
- Toxic to pets: Mildly toxic if ingested.
