Crassothonna capensis---Ruby Necklace, Little Pickles (adorable, right?) description

🌱 Beginner-Friendly "Drama-free plant energy"

Plant jewelry you can propagate. Purple-red stems strung with plump jellybean leaves that trail, drape and generally refuse to be subtle.

What you get: 5 unrooted cuttings, about 6 inches each, no soil, plus a plant care card, a QR code to our free online plant guide, and a discount code for your next order. Expect it to look like the photos within about one growing season.

Quick facts

  • Difficulty: beginner-friendly
  • Light: partial shade to full sun. More sun turns stems from green to ruby
  • Water: thoroughly when dry. Less in low light or when growth slows
  • Soil: fast-draining cactus mix with perlite or pumice. Loves shallow or hanging pots with airflow
  • Outdoors in USDA Zones 9–11
  • Trails up to about 3 feet
  • Toxic to pets

Who needs diamonds?

Fresh out of the box: cuttings ship unrooted, with no soil, already dried and hardened so they're ready to root. After days in the dark they may drop a few leaves or lose some color. Pot in well-draining cactus mix and keep out of harsh direct sun until rooted. You'll know it's rooted when a gentle tug meets resistance.

Cold weather: heat packs are required November through February for the live arrival guarantee. Outside those months, if any stop on the route from California to you could drop below 50°F, add a heat pack. Plants are dramatic about frostbite, and honestly, fair.

Live arrival guarantee: if your plant shows up in rough shape, send us a photo within 48 hours of delivery. For an eligible claim we may provide a replacement when available, a refund to the original payment method, a partial refund, store credit, or care and recovery instructions when the issue is cosmetic or reversible. Heat packs are required November through February for the guarantee. Orders over $100 ship UPS or USPS with shipping insurance. Orders usually ship within a few days, Monday through Wednesday, so plants never sit in a carrier warehouse over a weekend (we may make an exception if you're close by, likely to receive it by Saturday, or the weather along the route is mild). Full shipping and refund policies are on our website. Every plant is nursery grown in California.

    Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on your order, location, selected carrier, and shipping speed. Basically, the plants need a safe little travel plan, and unfortunately the postal goblins do require payment. 📦🌿

    We do our best to offer available shipping options at checkout so you can choose what works best for you.
  • Do you offer express shipping?
  • Yes — express shipping options may be available at checkout.
