Ruby Necklace Succulent

Most commonly known as String of Rubies or String of Pickles, Othonna capensis ‘Ruby Necklace’ belongs to the Asteraceae family and is related to the Senecio genus, which includes the popular String of Hearts, String of Dolphins, and String of Pearls. String of Rubies is a fascinating plant and stands out from other trailing succulents because it changes color when stressed. This sun-loving succulent will transform its foliage color from lush green to vibrant red under lots of bright direct sunlight. The delicate shape and red colors of these leaves are similar to precious gem pendants on necklaces, giving it the name 'Ruby Necklace'.
