Cotyledon 'Ruby Lips'
Cotyledon 'Ruby Lips' is an enchanting succulent that captivates with its matte silver-green foliage, emboldened by a fiery red rim. This compact plant is a master of versatility, effortlessly adapting to various environments. It's perfect for augmenting rockeries, hanging baskets, or enhancing the charm of mixed succulent pots.
Unlike some plants that have a season of glory, 'Ruby Lips' maintains its unique aesthetic appeal all year round, thanks to the constant display of its bold leaf colouration. This trait gets amplified when positioned in a sunny location. Despite its striking looks, this succulent asks for little attention, and endures neglect with surprising resilience.
Come summer, the true spectacle unfolds. Stalks rise above the plant, showcasing pendulous, orange blooms that dangle elegantly, adding an additional layer of contrast and visual interest to its overall appearance.
To cultivate Cotyledon 'Ruby Lips', a moderately fertile to humus-rich, well-drained soil is best. If potted, opt for a quality potting or succulent mix. After initial watering, this tough plant showcases impressive drought tolerance. Despite its seemingly delicate and intricate aesthetics, 'Ruby Lips' proves to be a tough contender in the world of succulents. Its adaptability, captivating colours, and easy-going nature make it a worthy addition to any plant collection.

Succulents naturally change in colour, size and form throughout the year. Many develop richer colours and more compact growth during periods of seasonal stress, particularly through cooler months and brighter conditions, while warmer or lower-light conditions may produce greener, softer growth.
The plant you receive may therefore vary from the product images depending on the season, its stage of growth and current growing conditions. These natural variations are part of the character of living plants and do not affect their quality or health.
