Crassothonna capensis 'Ruby Necklace' Ruby Necklace, aka String of Pickels. NOTE: Moderate stress (direct sun, drought, or cool temperatures of about 50F) will turn the succulent leaves to magenta . There is also fine,white fuzz that grows in the crevices of stems and leaves. (Look close, not mealybugs) Flowers are yellow.

Stem cuttings to propagate. It is a tender succulents, so bring indoors to grow as it needs good sunlight, drainage, and infrequent water. Water enough for water to run out the bottom of the pot, then wait for the soil to fully dry before watering again. Avoid wet feet.
