Senecio Othonna capensis

Senecio Othonna capensis, commonly known as "Ruby Necklace" because of its purple stems, is a succulent with small, cylindrical green leaves that turn a reddish or purplish hue under strong light. This succulent is ideal for hanging baskets or filling a pot with its trailing shape and unique colors. Its small yellow daisy-shaped flowers appear in summer, adding a charming touch

Care :

• Light: Place it in bright light with direct sunlight to intensify its red and purple hues. It can tolerate more moderate light, but the colors will be less pronounced.
• Watering: Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. Like most succulents, it prefers spaced watering to avoid overwatering which can lead to root rot.
• Humidity: Senecio Othonna capensis is satisfied with a dry environment and does not need additional humidity.
• Temperature: It prefers warm temperatures between 18°C and 24°C. Protect it from temperatures below 10°C.
• Care: Prune regularly to control growth and encourage a denser habit. Stems can be fragile, so handle with care.

With its vibrant colors and minimal maintenance, the Senecio Othonna capensis is perfect for those looking to add a touch of originality to their succulent collection.
