This unusual and rare succulent is a perennial plant native to South Africa. Sometimes this plant is called a candlestick plant and the botanical name is Senecio stapeliiformis. The stems of the Pickle Plant are fleshy and pencil-like with silvery-green striations. It has a distinctive, dark-green pickle pattern and soft spines along the sides. Pickle Plant Senecio is extremely drought, disease, and pest tolerant, making it easy to grow.

Best Locations For Growing Pickle Plant Succulent

The Pickle Plant Succulent is the perfect windowsill plant, or show it off under a grow light. Try to choose a location that will stay above 40° Fahrenheit. In the right conditions, this plant produces a gorgeous orange-red flower that contrasts nicely with its stem.

Pickle Plant Succulent Sunlight Requirements

This succulent plant needs bright direct or indirect light. Place your Pickle Plant where it gets the most bright light possible. Southern or western exposures are ideal.

Pickle Plant Succulent Care

Soil for this plant should be quick draining and sandy. A blend for cacti and succulents would work well or you can make your own mix by using 2.5 parts potting soil, 1 part coarse sand, and 1 part perlite. The Pickle Plant is naturally a vining plant, so to maintain a certain shape, it should be trimmed periodically. 

Watering Pickle Plant Succulent

Allow the potting soil to dry completely before watering; the soil should be visibly dry. At that point, fully saturate the soil until water runs out of the bottom of the pot. A Pickle Plant kept on the dry side will usually grow more full and bushy. 

Feeding Pickle Plant Succulent

Use a balanced fertilizer at one-quarter of the strength recommended by the manufacturer, approximately every two months. The Pickle Plant Succulent requires minimal fertilization.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
