String of Ruby – A Bold, Vibrant Twist on a Classic Trailing Succulent

String of Ruby (Curio radicans) is a stunning variation of the String of Pearls succulent, distinguished by its striking deep ruby-red to purple stems and vibrant, teardrop-shaped leaves. These rich, jewel-toned leaves create a bold and dramatic effect, making it a unique and eye-catching addition to any plant collection. The contrast between the dark stems and the glossy, green-tinged leaves gives the plant a rich, elegant appearance that stands out in both hanging baskets and containers.

In warmer months, String of Ruby produces small, white or pale purple flowers that are a charming complement to its colorful foliage. Though the flowers are modest, they add a touch of sweetness to the plant’s overall allure.

Native to the arid regions of South Africa, String of Ruby thrives in bright, indirect light and well-draining soil. This drought-tolerant plant requires minimal watering, making it perfect for succulent lovers who want a low-maintenance plant. As with other succulents, allow the soil to dry completely between waterings to prevent root rot.

With its vibrant ruby-red stems, unique trailing form, and easy-care nature, String of Ruby makes a fantastic addition to any indoor garden, offering both beauty and a pop of color to your décor.
