These interesting plants are known by two different scientific names (Kleinia stapeliiformis and Senecio stapeliiformis) and also have many common names, including Pickle Plant, Pickle Cactus and Inch Worm Plant. These South African natives are easy to grow, thrive indoors and will be a striking addition to your succulent planter or collection.

The listing photos show 4 inch pots, each containing 6 individual Pickle Plants standing between 3-1/2 to 8 inches above the soil. The contents of one pot (6 plants) or two pots (12 plants) similar to these will be included with each order. All are rooted and will ship bare root (without soil or pots).

The stems of these plants can be either green or purple and will grow to be about a foot long. Some stems will branch and a portion will form jointed segments. Shoots readily grow from the bases of the stems, and the number of plants in a container can easily double in a single season. If provided ample light, they will produce a bloom stalk bearing large red to orangish-red flowers as shown in the final listing photograph.

K. stapeliiformis is very forgiving, even when compared to most other succulents. They require soil that drains well and we have found that using a mix containing 50% sand is ideal. During cooler months, they should be watered after the soil has completely dried. Water may be reduced during summer and established plants become quite drought tolerant. Provide them with at least 5 hours of bright indirect light or 3 hours of morning through early afternoon direct sun per day. Although they may survive being exposed to temperatures as low as 25 degrees Fahrenheit, keeping them above 45 degrees is recommended.

PLEASE NOTE: We do not use heat packs and we are not responsible for damage related to the plants being exposed to cold temperatures.

Shipping to any address within the contiguous United States, with the exception of those in California, is included in the listing prices. We cannot ship these to destinations within the states of California, Hawaii or to the US island territories.
