Growing guide for the Pickle Plant (Kleinia stapeliiformis / Senecio stapeliiformis)
Kleinia stapeliiformis, also known as "Pickle Plant," is a succulent native to South Africa. Its distinctive cylindrical stems resemble pickles, hence the name.
Provide bright light and warm temperatures, and you'll have a fast-growing and unusual looking houseplant on your hands.
In this video, I share what I've learned and what works well for me over the last few years of owning this plant.
I have a detailed blog post over on my website if you want to read more about it - www.ourhousepl...

I’ve heard it called inch worm plant too. I love mine, it’s quadruple in size in the 2 years I’ve had it, it’s massive now

@lynnelaney4380 5 месяцев назад

Totally looking for one of these now! 😊

@ourhouseplants 5 месяцев назад

Good luck in your search. They make great indoor plants!

@cherylpenn4509 6 месяцев назад

Fabulous. I have 2 small plants and didnt know what they were. LOL

@ourhouseplants 5 месяцев назад

Yes, unless they're labelled most people won't know what they are as they're so unusual looking! Plus, as they have different common / scientific names it makes it even harder.

@leroytobias 2 месяца назад

you can propagate them through cuttings ( cut in spring. Let the cuttings callous 3 or 4 days and plant in well-draining soil )

@ourhouseplants 2 месяца назад

Mine are getting super long.... I may give it a go. Thanks for the tips!

@JA-yn4rp 5 месяцев назад

This plant is one of my absolute favorites. Do you have any tips for getting the stems to grow thicker?

@ourhouseplants 5 месяцев назад

Do you mean thick like my plant, or thicker still? I think the main factor for healthy stems is really good bright light. Full sun for a few hours each day (when it's shining of course!) And feeding occasionally.

@jennifergracia1221 2 месяца назад

What does it look like when it’s over watered? I think I over watered mine and I wanted to propagate it, it was mushy where it was touching the soil. Was it because of over watering ?

@ourhouseplants 2 месяца назад

Oh no that sounds bad. And yes, your "mushy" description is almost certainly overwatering. They can be quite thirsty plants but only when grown in very high light / warm locations. So it sounds like you've overdone it. If any of the upper stem sections are firm, still try to propagate them.

It’s spring in So California after record rains. My plants are outside. I’ve had issues due to the rain but caught it quickly and covered my plants. I have one in a pot where the tops are looping into the dirt. I teased two of them out and they were totally white. Any idea why they are doing this? Should I just leave them alone? Strangest growth I’ve ever seen in a plant.

@ourhouseplants 4 месяца назад

Sorry, only just saw this message! I honestly have NO clue why your plant has done this. It's been a few weeks since you posted, have you found out any further information on it? Sounds interesting for sure, I'd love to know more.

@kathyduffy4526 5 месяцев назад

My plant is in a long window box, causing it to be pretty scraggly and flopping over. Should i transplant it to a taller, thinner pot?

@ourhouseplants 5 месяцев назад

You could do. But what it really wants is just a little support. Maybe a few canes to help prop things upright. If your plant has been in that position for a while the stems could have stiffened up and you might not be able to "shape" them now. You could always remove some young offsets and start new plants.

@michellechapman8738 4 месяца назад

I repot mine....it died😢😢... Should have left it alone...

@ourhouseplants 4 месяца назад

Oh no! That's such a shame. Maybe it was accidentally overwatered when you repotted it. Maybe give it another go in the future!

@glorianayeagley9258 6 месяцев назад

Hi I enjoy watching your videos they're short, Informative and to the point. Pickle 🪴 seems to have similar care to the Snake plant?

@ourhouseplants 6 месяцев назад

Thank you Gloriana! Appericate the feedback. Yes I suppose in a way they are very similar to Snake Plants in regard to care. I feel like the Snake Plant can have a little more sun without it affecting the leaves and they do grow a little differently, but broadly speaking you could treat them the same.
