In bright light, the pale pistachio-green foliage develops vivid red margins, and mature plants reward you with bold, bell-shaped flowers in coral and white. It’s an ideal choice for hanging baskets, high shelves, and window ledges where its cascading habit and dramatic color can shine.\u003cspan class=\"citation-nbsp\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-pplx-citation-url=\"https:\/\/www.magicvalleygardens.com\/products\/cotyledon-pendens-trailing-cliff-cotyledon\" data-pplx-citation=\"\" class=\"citation inline\"\u003e\u003cspan data-state=\"closed\" class=\"group\/trigger inline-flex min-w-0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative -mt-px max-w-full min-w-0 whitespace-nowrap -top-px font-sans text-base text-foreground select-none selection:bg-super\/50 selection:text-foreground dark:selection:bg-super\/10 dark:selection:text-super\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"text-3xs rounded-badge group min-w-4 max-w-full cursor-pointer align-middle font-mono tabular-nums font-normal transition-colors duration-150 inline-flex items-center gap-0 py-[0.1875rem] leading-snug px-[0.3rem] [@media(hover:hover)]:hover:bg-subtle group-data-[state=open]\/trigger:bg-subtle border-subtlest ring-subtlest divide-subtlest bg-quiet\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"inline-block relative !mt-0 ![vertical-align:unset] max-w-[25ch] overflow-hidden\"\u003emagicvalleygardens\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"inline-block ml-xs mr-px !mt-0 ![vertical-align:unset]\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"opacity-50\"\u003e+4\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"detailed-description\" class=\"font-editorial font-bold mb-2 mt-4 [.has-inline-images_\u0026amp;]:clear-end text-lg first:mt-0 md:text-lg [hr+\u0026amp;]:mt-4\"\u003eDetailed description\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003eNative to cliff faces in South Africa, Cotyledon pendens naturally grows trailing from rocky crevices, forming long, branched stems that can reach up to about 2 feet in length under good conditions. Each stem is lined with oval to teardrop leaves dusted in a powdery, glaucous coating that softens the color and adds a subtle matte finish. When exposed to strong light, the leaf tips and margins blush bright red, creating a striking contrast against the cool green base. In season, plants produce large, pendant, bell-shaped flowers striped in coral and white, making this species as much a bloomer as a foliage showpiece. Compact, drought-tolerant, and visually distinctive, it’s a favorite among succulent collectors and an easy way to add movement and texture to mixed succulent displays.\u003cspan class=\"citation-nbsp\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-pplx-citation-url=\"https:\/\/www.succulentsdepot.com\/products\/cotyledon-pendens-cliff-cotyledon\" data-pplx-citation=\"\" class=\"citation inline\"\u003e\u003cspan data-state=\"closed\" class=\"group\/trigger inline-flex min-w-0\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"relative -mt-px max-w-full min-w-0 whitespace-nowrap -top-px font-sans text-base text-foreground select-none selection:bg-super\/50 selection:text-foreground dark:selection:bg-super\/10 dark:selection:text-super\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"text-3xs rounded-badge group min-w-4 max-w-full cursor-pointer align-middle font-mono tabular-nums font-normal transition-colors duration-150 inline-flex items-center gap-0 py-[0.1875rem] leading-snug px-[0.3rem] [@media(hover:hover)]:hover:bg-subtle group-data-[state=open]\/trigger:bg-subtle border-subtlest ring-subtlest divide-subtlest bg-quiet\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"inline-block relative !mt-0 ![vertical-align:unset] max-w-[25ch] overflow-hidden\"\u003esucculentsdepot\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"inline-block ml-xs mr-px !mt-0 ![vertical-align:unset]\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"opacity-50\"\u003e+6\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"light\" class=\"font-editorial font-bold mb-2 mt-4 [.has-inline-images_\u0026amp;]:clear-end text-lg first:mt-0 md:text-lg [hr+\u0026amp;]:mt-4\"\u003eLight\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"marker:text-quiet list-disc pl-8\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"py-0 my-0 prose-p:pt-0 prose-p:mb-2 prose-p:my-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:pt-0 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:mb-2 [\u0026amp;\u0026gt;p]:my-0\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:inline-block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:align-top\"\u003ePrefers \u003cstrong\u003efull sun to bright, indirect\u003c\/strong\u003e light for several hours a day;
