Senecio Stapeliiformis 'Pickle Plant'

Botanical Name: Senecio Stapeliiformis

Common Names: Pickle Plant

Description: The Senecio Stapeliiformis, also known as the ‘Pickle Plant,’ is a quirky, low-maintenance succulent that adds a unique touch to any space. 

With its long, cylindrical, green stems that resemble pickles, this plant is perfect for those who love fun and unusual houseplants. Native to South Africa, the Pickle Plant thrives in bright, indirect light and requires very little water, making it ideal for busy plant owners.

This easygoing plant prefers well-draining soil, so be sure to let it dry out completely between waterings to avoid root rot. Its unique appearance, with stems that can grow up to 2 feet long, creates a fun, trailing effect, making it perfect for hanging baskets or shelf displays. The Pickle Plant also produces lovely yellow flowers when it’s happy, adding an extra pop of color to your collection. Just be careful—its sap can cause irritation, so handle it with care and keep it out of reach of pets.
