Originating from South Africa, this plant inherits its hardiness and unique beauty from its parent, Othonna capensis. Unlike many succulents that need to be stressed to reveal their colours, 'Opal Necklace' maintains its vivid palette even under optimal growing conditions. It is known for its plump, lush leaves that thrive with regular watering but also exhibit significant drought tolerance. When left to dry, the colours intensify, deepening much like the 'Ruby Necklace,' which gains its signature ruby glow under stress.

In terms of care, this succulent is relatively low-maintenance, making it perfect for both novice and experienced gardeners. Its trailing habit makes it an excellent choice for hanging baskets, where its colourful stems can cascade beautifully.
