- Botanical Name: Othonna capensis
- Common Names: “ruby necklace” or “string of pickles”
- Description: When properly tended for, the simple-to-grow string of rubies blooms with exquisite golden flowers for the bulk of the year. Due to its bean-shaped leaves, which can retain water for a long time, this South African native succulent is noted for its drought tolerance. Your string of rubies will flourish if you place it in a sunny area and give it water every two weeks.
