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.

Not Natural
I loved the application of this product, very smooth, no smell, no white patches and, supposedly, all natural. Then I looked at the inactive ingredients! EWG rates this product #3 for problematic ingredients. The most problematic is the OCTINOXATE, which they rate #6! I'm torn. I have not found another sunscreen with as good an application as this one but I don't want to put harmful things on my skin. I have decided to return it. Sigh! UPDATE: I just discovered that EWG rates highly the Coola PLANT BASED sunscreen (not this one). The reviews for that product, however, suggest it leaves a white paste, like most other sunscreens. I'm going Dr. Mercola's face stick. It got good reviews here.

Excellent sunscreen for daily sun protection...
This is a great sunscreen for the "light" days in the sun. I layer my skincare (serums, creams, then sunscreen) before I apply my makeup. Sunscreen is always the last step before I apply my makeup. Other brands have been known to "bead up" under my makeup through out the day, or have a white cast to them. This does not do that. It doesn't leave a white cast, or residue of any kind on my skin. It is lightweight to the point of being weightless right after application. It is incredibly moisturizing on my dry skin as well, which I LOVE! Love the ingredients too for everyday use! The only downside to this sunscreen is it isn't strong enough to protect my skin on days I am in the sun a lot and cannot reapply every hour, or so. I noticed a couple of stubborn brown spots pop up after a couple hours in direct sunlight. I didn't burn, but I did get a tan on my face I was hoping to avoid. All in all, This is my favorite sunscreen I use when I am running to-and-fro, but not the sunscreen I will use at the ball field, or a day at the beach.

A little pricey but worth it
I LOVE THIS SO MUCH. I have really sensitive skin and eczema, and am allergic to scented liquid soaps, detergents and creams. I got a sample of this in a subscription box, and fell in LOVE after I tested just a little on my hand at first. Now I've ordered multiple time, and even shipped some to my mom! It feels luxurious but also fresh and natural on your face, I put it on as a moisturizer, hit some concealer under my eyes, swipe some mascara on and am good to go - it feels like a whole skin-care routine in one go. The size is a little small for the price, but it's light, non-irritating, and refreshing. I think it's definitely worth it if you have sensitive skin and want sun protection without a load of chemicals on your face. I put a picture of what it looks like on my hand reflected in some light - it's slightly greasy at first, but it dries nice and soft afterwards, I still feel like my pores can breathe. I usually don't write product reviews, but after I ordered my 3rd batch I felt I should share. *One other thing to note - make sure you read the label if you want the specific scented one, I accidentally ordered the unscented one when I wanted the cucumber because the packaging looks the same and the label is in the scripty font and I missed it when I made a rushed order.

Great for sensitive skin
Scent: Fragrance Free, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I usually have problems with fragrance in almost any face cream or sunscreen, and my skin reacts very easily, so I’m always careful with what I use. I tried the COOLA Organic Face Sunscreen SPF 50 Sunblock Lotion (Fragrance Free) and I’m honestly impressed. It feels very light on the skin, doesn’t irritate my face at all, and finally a sunscreen that doesn’t have that strong smell that usually bothers me. It absorbs well, works great under makeup, and gives good daily protection without feeling greasy. If you have sensitive skin or issues with fragrance like I do, this one is definitely worth trying.

Love this sunscreen
Scent: Fragrance Free, Size: 1.7 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
I would love to buy again, but I go through sunscreen, I have to find a little less expensive one. No burn, dewy not greasy look. Great for mature skin. No fragrance, works well, melts right in the skin. I do love this product and the spray too!
