When and How to Water Your Ruby Necklace Plant  

The Ruby Necklace plant prefers moderate but careful watering, similar to the dry coastal conditions of its native South African habitat. It grows best when watered using the “soak and dry” method, where the soil is thoroughly watered and then allowed to dry out before watering again.

The Ruby Necklace succulent should be watered about once every 1 to 2 weeks and only water once every 3-4 weeks to keep the soil relatively dry.

In spring and summer, water deeply enough to moisten the soil evenly, but never let the plant sit in soggy soil. By inserting your finger about an inch into the soil, you can determine the moisture level. If it feels dry at that depth, it's a good indication that it's time to water. Be sure to water thoroughly and let the excess water drain out of the pot. 

In fall and winter, reduce watering since the plant becomes less active. Watch for signs such as shriveled leaves, limp stems, or dull coloring, which may indicate the plant needs water.

Light Requirements - Where to Place Your Ruby Necklace Plant

When growing indoors, place your Ruby Necklace plant near a south facing or west facing window where it can receive 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight.

If your home does not get enough natural light, consider supplementing with artificial grow light to ensure it receives adequate light. 

When growing outdoors, this succulent thrives best in a bright sunny location with partial to full sun exposure. However, it's important to avoid exposing it to direct sunlight over 6 hours daily, especially during the hottest parts of the day.  

If you notice the leaves of this beautiful plant turning yellow or brown, it may be a sign that your necklace plant is getting too much direct sunlight.

Optimal Soil & Fertilizers 

The Ruby Necklace plant prefers a light, airy, well-draining succulent soil mixes, that has a high content of nutrients, making it ideal for growing these succulents.

A diluted, low nitrogen fertilizer or a balanced fertilizer with an NPK ratio of 5-10-5 works well to support healthy foliage and trailing stem growth.

Fluffy and Nice Omegaverse
Format: Kindle
… this would have made 5 stars but for 2 reasons. A.) there were quite a few typos; misspelled words, missing quotations, “the his” mistakes, and various signs that maybe a proofread would do good. B.) the writing was quite textbook. Late blooming omega is struggling with her new self, finds a absurdly wealthy pack of alphas, every thing is almost insta-love but she resists, then decides to love herself and let everyone be happy. Rian was my favourite (obviously the author’s favourite too because he got the most page time) but I wish we could see more of his CEO side? He went to work maybe ONCE the entire time. Gray was supposed to be the “growly one” but he turned out to be puppy dog. Lucas was a genius brainiac doctor - but also super alpha with an aggressive hindbrain with a breeding k*nk?? And then there was no actual “breeding”?? Spice 3/5 - normally omegaverse books are super high on messy smut but this was tamer. Romance 3/5 - insta-love that was then resisted because of personal hangup’s Plot 2/5 - weird paced head hopping, showing the same scene from different POV’s that made me feel like it was 2 steps backward, 1 step forward. Humour 4/5 - there were a dozen lines that genuinely made me chuckle out loud Would have been five stars but the lack of proofreading and the predictable plot made me unable to get up to ADORED IT level - four stars is still and official ENJOYED IT, y’all. This isn’t a bad rating. The “Club Heat” has intriguing possibilities so I’m going to give the second one a shot.

Wow.
Format: Kindle
Okay I’m usually not one for stand-alone’s I’m an avid series reader but my goodness am I so happy I read this! This story was brilliant & so absolutely mesmerizing. I loved reading about each character and their struggles as well as what helped them to move forward. The ending definitely brought tears to my eyes so hard. I truly wasn’t expecting some of what happened in this story. There is about to be a spoiler I am going to reveal so please stop reading if you don’t want the spoiler !!!! ⚠️ ⛔️ ‼️ I loved that the author didn’t do what most authors do with irredeemable male characters. I truly was hoping that Nate Jr. would be apart of the pack after the way he treated Astrea bc he truly didn’t deserve it. Though I must say you did a wonderful job or redeeming him as a person. I cried my eyes out when he walked into the story. I was truly terrified he was going to be a bad guy to the end. However you truly did him such a justice by having him realize his faults & having him redeem himself in the most wonderful way. I’m so sad that he didn’t get to hear how much his brother loved him & forgave him before dying. But again you wrote that ending so beautifully & I just can’t express how much I loved this story & how you took a different route than most authors I have read have. You are a remarkable author Cinder Blaze & I thank you generously for creating such a masterpiece.

I was pleasantly surprised by this omega verse book. This 1 definitely had a few new twists And I really enjoyed reading it. The main female character was a badass and awesome. She had 1 best friend I wish we could have seen a little bit more of their friendship in this book. Her relationship with the male characters was good not to contrived or super instantaneous. And we had some fun plot twists that I didn't expect. I wish we had more of a follow up on the situation with her family her background and her mother who was a wench. I would definitely recommend this book.

Wow. Just wow. An amazing read
Format: Kindle
This book was eloquently written, or should I say the authors writing style is very eloquent? I loved the characters, and the story was quite compelling. I absolutely loved the FMC, she's a BA who doesn't take any crap & gives as good as she gets. A certain person certainly got his just desserts & then some, the earlier scenes of which were quite satisfying, had me punching the air & everything haha. All in all 20/10, great read

My opinion
Format: Kindle
Let me preface this by saying I really liked the story and the characters however, this book is in desperate need of some sort of editing. It's not misspelled words or formatting, but continuous run on sentences. Redundancies within the sentences. There were a couple of paragraphs that I had to go back and reread 3 or 4 times. Overall, I'd say it was worth the read.
