Ruby Necklace Hanging Basket Succulent (Othonna capensis ‘Ruby Necklace’)

At Wrights Market, we love plants that make a statement—and the Ruby Necklace Hanging Basket is a true showstopper. With cascading strands of vibrant, bead-like leaves that turn rich ruby red in the sun, this trailing succulent brings color, movement, and effortless elegance to any space.

Hung on a porch, patio, or in a sunny window, it creates that soft, flowing look that feels both relaxed and beautifully styled.

🌿 Plant Story & Meaning

Native to South Africa, the Ruby Necklace is known for its vibrant color and graceful trailing habit, symbolizing warmth, energy, and natural beauty. Its ability to change from green to deep ruby tones depending on sunlight makes it a dynamic and ever-changing addition to your home or garden.

At Wrights Market, we love how this plant adds a pop of color and a touch of drama to both indoor and outdoor spaces.

❤️ Growth & Appearance

This hanging basket is filled with trailing stems lined with plump, bean-shaped leaves that shift from soft green to deep ruby-purple in bright light.

Over time, the vines spill beautifully over the edges, creating a lush cascading effect.

• Length: Trails 12–36 inches over time
• Growth Habit: Trailing / cascading
• Light: Bright light to full sun for best color
• Foliage: Green to ruby-purple depending on sun exposure

In cooler seasons, it may produce small, daisy-like yellow blooms that add a cheerful contrast.
