Grow one pot of this succulent and your home becomes romance turned into poetry

Among the great army of succulents there is one kind whose leaves are green on ordinary days, but as soon as it receives sunlight, the whole plant begins to give off a purple halo, and from a distance it looks full of romance.

This succulent belongs to the type of plant that can be grown hanging. If you grow it at home, you can hang it directly in the balcony area and let the leaves trail down along the plant's outline, so that at a glance it looks like a curtain fan strung all over with beads, extremely beautiful.

This succulent is called Othonna capensis, the ruby necklace.

Well, doesn't even the name give off a full sense of romance?

If you want to enhance the overall effect of the ruby necklace, you can also hang it up and grow it suspended on the balcony, with the long purple leaves trailing downward and rippling in waves under the breeze, just like a fairyland on earth, indescribably beautiful.

When it comes to propagating the ruby necklace, it could not be simpler. Generally speaking, just pick off a healthy leaf at random, insert it into suitable potting soil, water it with a little clear water, and after waiting some days you will have a new succulent. This succulent has a very high survival rate from cuttings and is quite suitable for beginners to grow.

In weather with ample sunlight and a fairly large temperature difference between day and night, the ruby necklace's leaf color changes from bright green to a romantic purplish red, which is quite magical.

And when this succulent is grown properly, it will also produce small pale yellow flowers, just like fresh and lovely daisies, and paired with its plump leaves it looks even more romantic and beautiful.

The ruby necklace is also very easy to care for. It likes a warm environment with ample sunlight, and most of all dislikes being scorched by the hot sun, so in summer just pay attention to shading it. In daily care you can place it in a ventilated spot with sunlight; except in summer, pay attention to increasing the water supply in the other seasons, and water thoroughly each time.

Pay attention to these few points and there will basically be no problem in caring for the ruby necklace. It belongs to the beginner-level succulent types; whether it is cuttings or care, it is very simple, and its looks are quite impressive. So what are you waiting for? Go get one and grow a pot right away!
