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.

Fallen for the Fallen Angel – A Guilty Pleasure Worth Every Page
Format: Kindle
There’s something deeply irresistible about a dark academia or trial-based setting, a brooding and arrogant fallen angel, and a fierce heroine with enough sass to go toe-to-toe with him. Wings So Wicked is exactly that kind of book—and I devoured it in just a couple of days. To be fair, the plot isn’t groundbreaking. If you’re looking for something fresh and innovative in terms of storyline, this might not be it. But if your reader heart beats faster at the mere mention of enemies-to-lovers, jealousy-fueled banter, magical trials, betrayals, and forbidden tension—you’ll feel right at home. It’s like catnip for those of us with this particular weakness. The chemistry between the leads could have used a slightly slower burn to make the tension sizzle longer, but I still found myself completely invested in their dynamic. There are moments and phrases that feel a bit cheesy or underdeveloped, but honestly? I didn’t care. The vibes were exactly what I wanted. This book isn’t trying to reinvent the genre—it’s here to give readers like me what we crave: high-stakes magical drama, angsty romance, and the thrill of watching a badass girl and her brooding counterpart clash and spark. If that sounds like your kind of story, Wings So Wicked will hit the mark. Here’s hoping Book 2 turns up the heat and keeps the magic alive.

Fast paced romantasy you will not want to put down!
Format: Kindle
4.25 stars! I LOVED this book with similar vibes to Hush Hush, Fourth Wing, and The Serpent and the Wings of Night! It was fast paced with easy world building and will keep you turning the pages late into the night because you will not want to put it down! Huntyr is a fierce bad@ss FMC trained to kill vampyres her entire life. She is sent on a mission to go to the academy and earn her spot into The Golden City. Upon arrival, she is forced to room with the delicious fallen angel, Wolf, who is the only one who knows about her assassin identity. The romance, the plot twists, the secrets revealed, the battles, and the tantalizing training scenes had me hooked! And that ending…. I’m holding my breath in need to know hell! Read if you love: 🪽 Fae, Vampyres, Fallen Angels 🪽 Academy setting with magical trials 🪽 Forced proximity and slow burn 🪽 Rivals to lovers 🪽 Hidden identities and secrets 🪽 Tend your wounds “𝘖𝘧 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦 𝘐 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘵𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘺𝘰𝘶.

Excellent Rivals to Lovers!!
Format: Kindle
The tension and banter between Huntyr and Wold was delectable. I absolutely love the fallen angel and all of his flaws. Huntyr is amazing too being a badass FMC with some major trauma. The world building was great and I enjoyed the training aspect of the story. The writing was immersive and was in the story the whole time. The ending had quite a twist that I hadn’t anticipated and made my jaw DROP. Excellent job! I also loved the narration. Laura is one of my fave narrators!

Fallen Angels, fae, vampires, oh my!
Format: Kindle
Rating: 4.5 | Spice: 2 (but a good slow-burn) • Main Characters: Huntyr and Wolf • I couldn’t wait to read this book; there was so much hype about it! And there was no doubt why. I fell in love with the characters and the plot itself. This book is mainly plot driven more than friction driven but it’s easy to follow along with. The characters are fun, easily understood. The main setting is at an academy where both the main characters are going through trials and building strength for the final test, The Transcendent. There are fantastic side characters as well. I loved the camaraderie between Huntyr and her friends. But we don’t like Lanson. 😆 We do have some plot twists that come into play throughout the book. Secrets and betrayal to be seen. I did adore Wolf and Huntyr’s relationship. It was a classic slow burn trope. They didn’t hit it off fast, but in time their feelings grew. I loved their banter, so sexy. Wolf is your next book boyfriend; Huntyr is your next vampire assassin independent bad-a*s female. Themes include loyalty, trust, self-discovery, a true slow burn romance. Side note: book ends on a angsty cliffhanger! • Emily, thank you for writing this awesome novel and I cannot wait to devour Book 2, Blood So Brutal! 😍 • Happy reading, my lovelies! xo
