Curio herreanus 'Purple Flush'

Curio herreanus 'Purple Flush' is a trailing succulent with slender stems and fleshy, oval to teardrop-shaped leaves. The foliage carries a green base with a violet-purple flush and darker longitudinal markings, giving each strand a shaded, dimensional look as it hangs from the pot.

This plant grows as a creeping or trailing succulent, with stems that can root at the nodes when they touch the substrate. In a raised planter, the elongated beads form loose chains, and the colour shows clearly in bright, steady conditions with careful watering and warmth.

Curio herreanus 'Purple Flush' defining traits

  • Trailing Curio with elongated bead-like leaves and slender hanging stems
  • Green foliage with purple flushes and darker lengthwise markings
  • Succulent leaves adapted for water storage in dry, bright habitats
  • Compact crown growth when light reaches the top of the pot
  • Suited to hanging planters, raised shelves, and mineral-rich succulent mixes

Curio herreanus 'Purple Flush' foliage and Namibian background

Curio herreanus is native to Namibia, where it grows in desert or dry shrubland conditions. The cultivated form 'Purple Flush' shows violet-purple colour across the fleshy leaves. Strong light, a free-draining root zone and a clear wet-dry cycle keep the stems firm and the crown healthy.

Each leaf is thick, elongated, and marked with a translucent line or window-like zone that relates to the plant’s adaptation to intense light. Indoors, the plant forms a refined trailing display with a slightly jewel-like leaf surface, especially when the strands can hang freely.

Growing Curio herreanus 'Purple Flush' indoors

  • Light: Give Curio herreanus 'Purple Flush' a very bright position with soft direct sun in the morning or evening. Light from above helps keep the crown dense.
  • Watering: Soak the substrate fully, then let it dry through before watering again. In cooler or darker months, extend the dry interval.
  • Substrate: Set into a mineral-heavy succulent mix with excellent drainage. Pumice, lava rock, grit, coarse sand, and a modest amount of organic matter create a stable root environment.
  • Potting: A pot with drainage is essential. Shallow or moderately sized containers suit the fine root system and reduce the risk of lingering moisture.
  • Temperature: Maintain warmth and indoor protection, ideally around 18–27 °C during active growth. Keep it above 10 °C in winter.
  • Humidity: Average household humidity is suitable. Dense crowns benefit from airflow and a dry surface after watering.
  • Feeding: Use diluted cactus or succulent fertiliser every 6–8 weeks during active growth.
  • Pruning: Shorten long stems to refresh the plant and encourage a fuller pot. Let cut ends dry briefly before placing them on substrate.
  • Propagation: Take stem sections and set them on slightly moist gritty substrate. Keep them warm and bright while new roots form from the nodes.
  • Mineral substrate culture: Mineral substrates can suit this plant well when watering is adapted to the container and the root zone is allowed to dry between soaks.

Curio herreanus 'Purple Flush' troubleshooting

  • Soft leaves near the crown: Check for trapped moisture around the top of the pot. Improve light and airflow, and let the substrate dry fully.
  • Wrinkled beads: Check root condition and substrate dryness. A thirsty plant usually firms up after a full soak if the roots are healthy.
  • Long gaps between leaves: Increase the brightness and make sure the crown receives light along with the hanging strands.
  • Pale or scorched marks: Shift the pot away from overheated glass and introduce stronger sun gradually.
  • Sticky residue or cottony clusters: Inspect for aphids or mealybugs, especially around new growth and tight stem joints.

Curio herreanus 'Purple Flush' handling and placement

Keep Curio herreanus 'Purple Flush' away from pets and children, and avoid mouth contact with the plant. Sap from damaged stems may irritate sensitive skin; wash hands after pruning or handling broken growth.

Curio herreanus 'Purple Flush' spelling and name note

Curio herreanus belongs to Asteraceae and was formerly placed in Senecio. Accepted spelling: Curio herreanus. The generic name is commonly linked to Latin curiosus, meaning “curious.” The epithet herreanus honours Adolar Gottlieb Julius “Hans” Herre, a botanist and succulent specialist connected with Stellenbosch University Botanical Garden.

Curio herreanus 'Purple Flush' forms slim trailing strands with elongated bead-like leaves and purple-toned markings in strong light.

Great pillow and company
Color: Crescent White, Size: King
I have a couple of Coop Home pillows and loved them. They are several years old and I was on the search for a replacement. I tried 2 other brands, one cost more and the other cost less. Returned 1 and used the other for a short time before I had to go back to my old Coop pillow. I started looking at crescent pillows and did some research. This type of pillow is great for side and back sleepers. Being a side sleeper I looked into the best rated. Coop Home crescent pillow was not rated #1 but it was close. The top rated pillow cost 2.5 times more and I could not justify paying that. I am happy to report that I am waking up less (before every 1.5-2 hours). It comes with extra fill and I love a very firm pillow so I emailed customer service to see if I could get more filling. This was on the weekend and in 1 day they responded that they would be happy to. Now that is great customer service. I sleep warm and have no problem with a hot head. It comes with a cover but I use silk pillowcases and it works fine. I will say when I first got the pillow it was very thin and flimsy. I had some doubts but followed directions and put in the dryer on low. Came out perfect. Highly recommend this pillow and company.

Best pillow I've ever owned
Color: Cut-out White, Size: Queen
While the pillow looks anemic when it first comes out of its packaging, it puffs/firms up beautifully after time in the dryer. I haven't had any odor issues. I'm mostly a side sleeper and at first I thought there wasn't enough of the extra fill, so I put it all in. I've ended up needing to take at least half back out to keep my head at the correct angle. While this can fit in a standard pillow case, it just barely fits and keeps coming out - at least at my fill level. Queen pillow cases are much better. This is so much more comfortable than any of my previous pillows. I don't need to stack multiple pillows to get the right support. I'm no longer waking up with neck or shoulder or arm pain. I'm recommending it to pretty much everyone and I've purchased a second pillow to keep at my parents for when I visit!

So nice your wife will steal it for herself
Color: Original White, Size: Queen
This, this is the god of all pillows I’ve ever purchased. It’s the perfect balance of firm and soft and it’s easily adjustable using the added filler. I’m a side sleeper so having a primary pillow is a must. Combined with a decent secondary pillow this one provides a perfect amount of support. This pillow is so nice, my wife ‘borrowed it’.

Favorite pillow!!
Color: Original White, Size: Queen
Absolutely love this pillow! Bought my husband one a year ago after he was waking up with neck pain. Just recently bought myself one, we both love them! Very comfy and comes with a bag of extra foam to add/remove from the pillow. The zipper on the side of the pillow cover is hidden but durable. We take it with us wherever we go, and always sleep so good.
