Othonna capensis
Little Pickles
Description
Othonna capensis, commonly known as string of pearls or string of pickles, is a trailing succulent native to South Africa. It's a popular choice for hanging baskets and container gardens due to its unique appearance. The plant's stems are adorned with small, cylindrical, bead-like leaves, which resemble strings of pearls or pickles. It produces small, daisy-like flowers in shades of yellow, often appearing during the cooler months. Othonna capensis thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent rot. Propagating is simple, using stem cuttings. This plant is known for its drought tolerance and low maintenance requirements.
