Pickle Plant

Scientific Name: Kleinia stapeliiformis
Common Name: Pickle Plant, Candle Plant, Candle Stick, Pencil Cactus, Pickle Cactus

Pickle Plants are a fun, unique succulent to add to any houseplant collection. They look very much like their namesake and can to 10-12 inches in height when mature. Pickle plants will also grow "pups" below the surface of the soil that will pop up and add even more to your plant family. 

In case we haven't already said enough good things about the Pickle Plant, the color variegations are also very striking. They have dark green and silvery white "trim" along the leaves, and the more light they get, the more contrast will develop in the variegations.

Basic Care: Water infrequently - overwatering is a common problem for all succulents. Use very well-draining soil, such as a cactus mix or something similar. Pickle plants love lots of bright sunlight and can handle direct sunlight but they can tolerate indirect bright light indoors as well. 

Watering test: Gently squeeze the plant. If they're firm, they don't need water, but if they feel softer or look a little wrinkly, give your succulent a drink!
