Senecio Stapeliiformis

Senecio stapeliiformis – Pickle Plant | Quirky & Sculptural Succulent

Add bold personality and playful charm to your collection with the Senecio stapeliiformis, also known as the Pickle Plant. Its upright, cylindrical stems resemble stacks of tiny pickles, creating a sculptural silhouette that stands out in any display.

The stems are patterned in shades of deep green to bluish-green with fine linear markings and often blush with purple tones under strong light. Covered in gentle, hair-like spines, they add soft texture without being harsh to the touch. In summer, the Pickle Plant surprises with brilliant orange-red daisy-like flowers, offering a vibrant contrast against its quirky stems.

Hardy and drought-tolerant, this succulent is perfect for modern pots, eclectic arrangements, or collectors seeking rare and unusual plants.
