Green Inspiration Delosperma Echinatum – Pickle Plant 12cm Pot
Delosperma echinatum is an unusual succulent with small, fleshy green leaves covered in soft white hairs. Commonly known as the pickle plant, its branching stems and distinctive texture make an attractive addition to a sunny indoor display.
Key Features
- Pickle-shaped leaves: Small, plump leaves give this succulent its memorable common name.
- Soft white hairs: Create a textured appearance without sharp cactus spines.
- Branching growth: Upright stems can spread and trail as they lengthen.
- Evergreen foliage: Provides lasting green interest throughout the year.
- Summer flowers: Small, daisy-like yellow blooms may appear in suitable conditions.
Product Description
The pickle plant brings a different texture to a succulent collection, with pairs of fleshy leaves arranged along slender green stems. Its fine white hairs catch the light, highlighting the rounded shape of each leaf.
Display in a simple pot cover on a sunny windowsill or plant stand. Its branching form contrasts beautifully with rosette-forming succulents, making it equally appealing alone or in a group.

Care Tips
Grow in a bright, sunny position using free-draining cactus and succulent compost. Water moderately during active growth, allowing the compost to dry between waterings, and drain thoroughly.
Keep almost dry during winter and protect from frost and cold draughts. Apply a diluted liquid feed during spring and summer. Avoid persistent wetness, which can cause root rot.
The plant’s growth rate and size will vary depending on its position and growing conditions. Flowers, foliage and overall appearance may differ from the photograph upon delivery. Plants may not be flowering when supplied.
