ruby necklace plant indoor care Othonna capensis 'Ruby Necklace'

• Othonna capensis 'Ruby Necklace' grows to form bean shaped leaves on a thin, trailing stem that can reach several feet in length and flushes to a beautiful magenta color when stressed.
• Can be grown as a houseplant or an outdoor ornamental. This beautiful trailing succulent grows tufts of white hairs in its crevices. Do not be concerned when you see this, it is not a pest infestation. 
  
• Easily propagated from stem cuttings.
  
• Produces yellow, daisy-shaped flowers that typically bloom in the summer.
  
• Hardy to Zone 10 (30° F). 'Ruby Necklace' will not survive a hard frost. However, succulents can easily be grown indoors under grow lights or in a sunny window if there is a risk of temperatures dropping below 30° F.

'Ruby Necklace' Care: As with all succulents, it is best to follow a "soak and dry" schedule where you water your plants deeply (until water runs out the bottom drain holes), and then allow your soil to dry completely before watering again. 'String of Pearls' needs to be watered a bit more frequently than your typical succulent due to its thin stems. Succulents should always be planted in well-draining cactus and succulent soil and in a pot or container that has drain holes. 'Ruby Necklace' grows best in bright, indirect sunlight. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
