Delosperma echinatum 'Pickle Plant'
Botanical Name: Delosperma echinatum
Common Names: Pickle Plant
Description:
Delosperma echinatum, commonly known as the Pickle Plant, is a quirky and delightful succulent prized for its plump, pickle-shaped leaves covered in soft, white, bristly hairs. Despite their spiny look, the hairs are gentle to the touch, giving this plant its playful personality. Native to South Africa, it’s a slow-growing, drought-tolerant succulent that adds texture and interest to any indoor garden or sunny windowsill.
Lighting:
Thrives in bright, indirect light—a wide view of the sky. It can tolerate some gentle morning sun but should be protected from strong afternoon rays to prevent leaf scorch.
Water:
Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water deeply, then let excess drain away. During winter, reduce watering to once every few weeks as growth slows.
Pet Friendly: 🚫 Not safe for pets if ingested. Keep out of reach of cats and dogs.
Fleurish Tip: ✨
For a happy Pickle Plant, give it plenty of light and good air circulation—it may surprise you with tiny yellow blooms in spring!
