Ruby Necklace, botanically listed as Othonna capensis 'Ruby Necklace', is a live succulent plant selected for its distinctive form and ornamental appeal. Natural color, size, form, and presentation may vary slightly with season, maturity, and growing conditions.
Othonna capensis 'Ruby Necklace' is an attractive and unique succulent plant, often admired for its colorful foliage and daisy-like flowers. Below are detailed descriptions of its morphological characteristics, growth habits, maintenance points, and reproduction methods:
Morphological Characteristics
- Stems: The 'Ruby Necklace' has trailing, slender stems that can grow several feet long. These stems are typically deep purple to ruby-red, which become more pronounced under bright sunlight.
- Leaves: The leaves are fleshy, bean-shaped, and glossy. They attach alternately along the stem and are a vibrant green to purple color, further intensifying to a deep ruby red in full sun.
- Flowers: This plant blooms with small, bright yellow, daisy-like flowers that contrast beautifully against the dark foliage. The flowers usually appear in late winter to spring, emerging at the tips of the stems.
Growth Habits
- Light: 'Ruby Necklace' thrives in bright, indirect sunlight. The color of the stems and leaves deepens with more exposure to light. Direct, harsh sunlight might scorch the leaves, so filtered light is optimal.
- Temperature: It prefers warm, dry conditions typical of its native South African environment. It is not frost-hardy and needs protection from temperatures below freezing.
- Water: This succulent requires minimal watering, adhering to the "soak and dry" method. Water thoroughly when the soil is completely dry, and then allow it to dry out completely before watering again.
Maintenance Points
- Soil: A well-draining succulent or cactus mix is essential to prevent root rot. Adding perlite or sand can improve drainage.
- Potting: Choose a pot with ample drainage holes to allow excess water to escape, which is crucial for the health of the plant.
- Fertilizer: Feed with a diluted low-nitrogen succulent fertilizer during the growing season to support growth and flowering, but avoid over-fertilization.
Reproduction Method
-
Propagation: 'Ruby Necklace' can be easily propagated from both cuttings and seeds.
- Cuttings: Take stem cuttings during the warmer months, let them dry for a day or two to form a callus, then plant in well-draining soil. Water sparingly until roots develop.
- Seeds: Sow seeds in a well-draining soil mix, cover lightly with soil, and keep moist in a warm, bright environment. Germination can take several weeks.
Othonna capensis 'Ruby Necklace' is an excellent choice for hanging baskets or as a part of a succulent display where its colorful trailing stems can be shown off. With minimal care, it can be a stunning addition to any succulent collection or home garden.

The "Lazy Professional" Look: Is Hands-Free Luxury Actually Real?
Size: 9.5, Color: Black Napa Leather
Living down here in Florida, my footwear needs are pretty specific. It’s hot, it’s humid, and I spent half my life rushing from the car into work or a meeting. I’ve reached that age where I value efficiency just as much as style—maybe more. I’ve been eyeing the Marc Joseph New York Hands-Free Slip-on Penny Loafers for a while, and after putting them through the wringer, here is the honest truth from someone who just wants to look sharp without the hassle.
The "Just Step-In" Reality
Look, the big selling point here is the "Hands-Free" tech. We’ve all seen the commercials for those athletic slip-ins, but finding that in a legitimate leather penny loafer is a different game. Does it work? Yes, surprisingly well. The heel counter is firm enough that it doesn’t collapse when you slide your foot in, but it doesn’t feel like a piece of plastic digging into your Achilles once you’re in. For those of us who are tired of bending over or hunting for a shoehorn every morning, this is a genuine quality-of-life upgrade.
The Florida Factor: Comfort and Style
The leather is actual calfskin (on most models), which is a must for the Florida heat. Synthetic shoes turn into a sauna within ten minutes, but these breathe reasonably well. The aesthetic is classic—it’s a "professor" shoe through and through. You can wear them with chinos and a blazer for work or throw them on with some nice jeans for a weekend lunch.
Inside, they’ve got a gel heel insert and a padded footbed. It’s not quite "walking on a cloud"—let’s not over-hype it—but it’s a massive step up from the hard, flat soles of traditional dress loafers. I’ve spent four hours on my feet lecturing, and my arches didn’t hate me by the end of the day.
The Sizing Gamble
Here’s where you need to be careful. The consensus from other guys (and my own experience) is that the sizing is a bit of a coin toss. They tend to run a little large and sometimes wide. If you have narrow feet, you might find the sides "gaping" or flaring out when you walk, which kills the sleek look. I’d recommend ordering a half-size down if you’re usually between sizes.
The Breakdown
The Pros:
True Hands-Free: You can actually put these on while holding a coffee and a briefcase. No hands needed.
Legit Materials: The calf leather feels premium and smells like the real deal.
Versatility: Perfectly bridges the gap between a "car shoe" and a formal loafer.
Comfort: The gel insert makes a noticeable difference for long-duration wear.
The Cons:
Sizing Inconsistency: They can run wide, leading to some "heel slip" if you don't get the perfect fit.
Break-in Period: The heel is stiff by design (to allow for the slip-on feature), so expect a day or two of minor stiffness.
Price Point: They aren't cheap, though often on sale.
Value for Money
Are they worth it? If you’re comparing them to high-end Italian brands that cost $500, these are an absolute steal. They look 90% as good for a fraction of the price. However, if you're used to $60 mall shoes, the jump to $150+ might feel steep until you realize you’re paying for the convenience of never having to touch your shoes to put them on. For a daily driver in a professional setting, the value is definitely there.

Step In Look Good
Size: 11.5, Color: Cognac Napa Leather
I am wearing these shoes as I write this review, and they look and feel great. I have a bit of a disability with drop foot on the right leg and bilateral neuropathy and have been wearing step in shoes for about 10 years. But the first company that introduced leather dress and casual shoes stopped making them and now only makes sport and casual shoes. So I have been searching for some that meet my need for shoes like this and this company has given me three pairs, so far. Easy to get into, comfortable to wear, and good looking. And they take polish very well, too. (Remember how to do that?). We may buy another pair or two in different styles as well.

Runs tight. Skinny and smaller than other brands.
Size: 8.5, Color: Brown
Comfy and lots of support. Cushiony. Beware: the brown I ordered runs small. Tighter than other brands.
