Well-draining soil should also be uséd, cactus mixes are good and often contain extra perlite and sand. Roots should not remain saturated for extended periods. A weekly watering during the growing seasons (Spring/Summer) and less often during the dormant period (Winter) is usually more than enough water. Bright indirect light is preferred, although they will tolerate a shady area – although they may stretch more. Fertilize with ½ strength during the growing season. Cuttings and leaf plantings should be given several days so they can callus over before watering so they do not intake too much water and rot. Avoid freezing temperatures, ideal temperatures are above 60° F (15° C), although they will tolerate lower temperatures.  Ships in the 3.5” pots shown in the pictures.

3.5" pot, Succulents, Succulent

Name: String of Pickles 'Ruby Necklace' 

Scientific Name: Crassothonna capensis 

Family: Asteraceae 

 

Product Description     

Crassothonna capensis, also known as Little Pickles or Ruby Necklace, is a charming succulent that belongs to the Asteraceae family. Crassothonna capensis is a low-growing, succulent ground cover with finger-like, blue-grey leaves that are spirally arranged. The leaves can turn maroon in dry conditions. It produces yellow, daisy-like flowers on long, slender stems. This plant has a trailing growth habit, making it perfect for hanging baskets or as a ground cover in rock gardens. Crassothonna capensis is native to the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa, where it grows in semi-arid Karoo scrub and dry, rocky flats. Produces small, yellow flowers with brightly colored stamens in the spring and summer. The flowers have a pleasant, slightly cinnamon-scented fragrance. This plant is not only visually appealing but also relatively low maintenance, making it a great choice for both beginners and experienced gardeners. 

 
Origination: South Africa 
Historic Uses: Ornamental, Collectable 
Height: 6” 
Hardiness: USDA 9+ 
Flower Color: Yellow  
Other Names: String of Pickles, Ruby Flush 

 

Growing Instructions:  

Prefers well draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix. Thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. To achieve the ruby flush, it needs plenty of bright light, but be cautious of too much direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves. Requires moderate watering. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent root rot. Best grown in temperatures between 65-85°F (18-30°C). It is not frost-tolerant and should be protected from cold drafts. Prefers low to moderate humidity levels. Feed with a balanced, diluted fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). Trim back any leggy or overgrown stems to maintain a compact shape.
