The Ruby Necklace Plant, botanically known as Othonna capensis, is a unique and eye-catching trailing succulent prized for its vibrant color and cascading growth habit. Popular as a hanging plant, its long trailing stems spill beautifully over containers, showcasing striking ruby-red, bean-shaped leaves that resemble tiny necklace pendants.

The bean-shaped plump leaves of the ruby necklace plant are fleshy and cylindrical. When exposed to direct sun for at least 5-6 hours a day, this sun-loving succulent's foliage color will change from lush green to vibrant red.

When and How to Water Your Ruby Necklace Plant  

The Ruby Necklace plant prefers moderate but careful watering, similar to the dry coastal conditions of its native South African habitat. It grows best when watered using the “soak and dry” method, where the soil is thoroughly watered and then allowed to dry out before watering again.

The Ruby Necklace succulent should be watered about once every 1 to 2 weeks and only water once every 3-4 weeks to keep the soil relatively dry.

In spring and summer, water deeply enough to moisten the soil evenly, but never let the plant sit in soggy soil. By inserting your finger about an inch into the soil, you can determine the moisture level. If it feels dry at that depth, it's a good indication that it's time to water. Be sure to water thoroughly and let the excess water drain out of the pot. 

In fall and winter, reduce watering since the plant becomes less active. Watch for signs such as shriveled leaves, limp stems, or dull coloring, which may indicate the plant needs water.

Light Requirements - Where to Place Your Ruby Necklace Plant

When growing indoors, place your Ruby Necklace plant near a south facing or west facing window where it can receive 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight.

If your home does not get enough natural light, consider supplementing with artificial grow light to ensure it receives adequate light. 

When growing outdoors, this succulent thrives best in a bright sunny location with partial to full sun exposure. However, it's important to avoid exposing it to direct sunlight over 6 hours daily, especially during the hottest parts of the day.  

If you notice the leaves of this beautiful plant turning yellow or brown, it may be a sign that your necklace plant is getting too much direct sunlight.

Optimal Soil & Fertilizers 

The Ruby Necklace plant prefers a light, airy, well-draining succulent soil mixes, that has a high content of nutrients, making it ideal for growing these succulents. Ideally, ypou can use our specialized potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your succulent to thrive. 

When fertilizing your Ruby Necklace plant, keep feeding light and seasonal. Do not over fertilize it, as too much fertilizer can damage the roots and cause weak, leggy growth. A diluted, low nitrogen fertilizer or a balanced fertilizer with an NPK ratio of 5-10-5 works well to support healthy foliage and trailing stem growth.

Hardiness Zone & More 

In the United States, the ruby necklace plant is mostly an indoor plant, but if you live in southern Florida or Hawaii, then you can cultivate it outdoors in USDA zones 9-11.

It thrives in average room temperatures ranging from 60°F to 75°F and can tolerate slightly cooler temperatures in the winter. 

This plant is fairly adaptable and can tolerate average indoor humidity levels. However, it appreciates a bit of extra humidity, so misting the leaves occasionally or placing a tray of water nearby can help create a more favorable environment.

If you live in a drier climate, you can also use a humidifier to maintain the desired humidity level. Just be cautious not to place the plant directly in front of an air conditioner or heating vent, as fluctuating temperatures and dry air can negatively impact its health.

How to Grow as a Houseplant 

You can grow your Ruby Necklace succulent indoors by giving it 4 to 6 hours of bright sunlight each day. Place it in a south or west facing window to help maintain its vibrant purple stems and healthy trailing growth.

"I very nearly singed my bone!"--Melvin Van Horne
Format: Paperback
Another fun-packed issue of Simpsons Comics. This is the 15th issue I've bought and, with only a couple of exceptions, they are all as funny and entertaining as the television show. I've read them all multiple times. This issue is perfect for the Sideshow Mel fan because he is featured in a short that documents how and why he became Sideshow Mel and he is also the hero in another comic. Jimbo Jones fans will like the short about how he became a bully (he wasn't always one). Dr. Hibbert also has a short feature. Here's what this issue has to offer: "Simpson/Sideshow Sibling Smackdown": Cecil Terwilliger and Lisa have something in common--they can't escape from the shadows of their attention-grubbing older brothers. Can they find a rapport even as one is intent on destroying the other? "A Recipe for Disaster"--Marge needs a new dish for the church social pot luck and tries recipes written by "Springfieldian citizens of questionable character." "Homer's Run"--Bart becomes owner of a demanding falcoln ("I have to do everything for him. What a stupid bird") while Homer signs up for early retirement on the Hawaiian Island Garbagio--which looks (and smells) just like it sounds. "Secret Origin of Sideshow Mel"--The background story of how and why Melvin Van Horne became Krusty's sidekick (you won't believe what Mel's occupation was before he replaced Sideshow Bob). "Day of the Nerd"--Lisa finds out the truth about NASA's exploration of Mars. Meanwhile, the other geeks of Springfield compete in feats of nerdome to win the inheritance of the largest collector of TV/movie&comic book memorabilia. Interesting and unique but jumps around a lot. "Bummer Vacation"--Short about Bart's summer (his batting swing looks totally wrong) and then writing a report on it that Mrs. Krabbapal doesn't believe. "Laughter is the Worst Medicine"--Homer competes in a competitive eating contest, "The Gorge in the Gorge." As Krusty says, "Chewing is for losers! Once you swallow, it's the colon's problem." After eating the final hot dog, something goes horribly wrong. Meanwhile Krusty gets a real doctor's degree instead of an honorary one and sick people start lining up at his door. "Down Home Doctorin' Time with Doctor Julius Hibbert"--Short about Dr. Hibbert as a TV doctor forced to change the style of his show to get better ratings. Ends very abruptly. "The Permanent Record Room!"--Principal Skinner shares some stories (school stories, not war stories). (1) "Pranks But No Pranks"--Bart plays a joke on Groundskeeper Willie which has the janitor believing he's a superhero. (2) "And the Beatings Go On"--The origin of Jimbo Jones. No, he wasn't always a bully. (3) "Truant or False"--Lil' Homie gets hooked up with a young miscreant(who would grow up to become a prominent figure in Springfield). Homer thinks he's learned a valuable lesson from the breif time he spent with this rebelious kid, but perhaps it is the rebel who changes his ways. Sidenote: they wouldn't have had Noiseland Arcade if this comic was accurate. Homer's mother is in this comic and she left the family in 1969. "The Many Faces of Bob"--Sideshow Bob is released from prison but is hit by a Duff Beer truck on his way out and has to undergo plastic surgery. Bart and Lisa try to figure out who Bob could be posing as before he gets his revenge on Bart. "Homer vs. The Raccoon I & II"--I'm not sure why this was divided into two parts; it's just an 8-page short. Anyway, Homer tries to capture a raccoon that has been going through his trash.
