Pickle Plant Care & Information

Delosperma echinatum, commonly known as the 'Pickle Plant,' is a charming succulent with fuzzy, plump stems covered in soft hairs. Native to South Africa, this quirky plant gets its name from its plump, green stems that resemble tiny gherkins (baby pickles!). It thrives in bright light with minimal waterings, making it an easy-care favorite for sunny windowsills.

In the right light, it produces small, daisy-like yellow blooms in late spring through summer. The blooms open during the day and close at night, following the sun—a behavior known as nyctinasty!

  • Each plant is unique; size and shape fluctuate by season so all measurements are shown as a range
  • Medium plant measures 5" to 7" tall, from the soil line to the top of the foliage
  • Arrives in a nursery grow pot nestled into your planter choice, if purchased
