Native to South Africa, this drought-tolerant plant thrives with minimal care and adds a touch of desert charm to homes, offices, or outdoor gardens. Whether displayed in a pot or as part of a succulent arrangement, the Senecio Stapeliiformis is a true conversation starter.

  • Common Names: Pickle Plant, Candle Plant, Senecio Stapeliiformis
  • Botanical Name: Senecio stapeliiformis

Care Instructions

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but tolerates direct sunlight. Ensure gradual exposure to direct sun to prevent scorching.
  • Water: Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Water sparingly, as the plant stores water in its stems. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
  • Humidity: Thrives in dry conditions and does not require additional humidity. Avoid misting.
  • Feeding: Fertilize once every 2-3 months during the growing season (spring and summer) with a cactus or succulent fertilizer.
  • Temperature: Maintain temperatures between 60°F and 80°F. Protect from frost and temperatures below 50°F.
  • Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix to prevent water retention.
