Senecio Stapeliiformis
Senecio stapeliiformis, also known as the "Pickle Plant" or "Candle Plant," is a unique and eye-catching succulent native to South Africa. This unusual plant features upright, fleshy stems that resemble green or blue-green pickles, hence its common name. The stems are adorned with small, soft spines and often exhibit interesting markings or patterns.
As the plant matures, it can reach up to 10 inches (25 cm) tall, with stems that may branch out or even become slightly cascading. During the summer months, Senecio stapeliiformis produces vibrant, orange or red, thistle-like flowers that sit atop the stems, adding a burst of color to its already intriguing appearance.
This succulent is relatively easy to care for, preferring well-draining soil and bright light, but it can tolerate some shade. It is drought-tolerant and should be watered sparingly, especially during its dormant period in the winter.
Senecio stapeliiformis is a popular choice for succulent enthusiasts and collectors due to its unusual form and vibrant blooms. It can be grown indoors as a houseplant or outdoors in warm climates. Whether you are a seasoned succulent enthusiast or a beginner gardener, the "Pickle Plant" is sure to add a touch of whimsy and interest to your collection.
The first two photos serves a display purpose only. The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 80mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
