Description
Bring a cascading, ruby-toned elegance to your collection with Othonna capensis. This delightful, fast-growing trailing succulent features slender, bean-shaped green leaves that flush into brilliant shades of purple and deep red when grown in bright sunlight. Throughout the year, it creates a cheerful contrast as the colorful, trailing vines are dotted with bright yellow, daisy-like flowers that open to meet the sun.
Care Tips:
-
Light: Thrives in full sun to bright, direct light; high light levels maintain its compact growth and trigger its intense purple and red coloration.
-
Water: Follows a low-water routine—prefers letting the soil dry out completely between waterings, soaking thoroughly and allowing to drain fully.
-
Soil: Prefers a loose, sharply draining succulent or cactus mix blended with plenty of perlite or grit to prevent rot.
-
Winter: Thrives in warm conditions and benefits from significantly reduced watering and protection against freezing winter temperatures and heavy frost.
