Kleinia stapeliiformis – Pickle Plant 🌵🥒

Kleinia stapeliiformis is a weird and wonderful succulent with green, segmented stems marked by dark green or purple striping, often likened to a cactus or gherkin. Known as the Pickle Plant or Candle Stick Plant, it's perfect for lovers of quirky, architectural succulents.

Key Features:

✔ Cylindrical, upright stems with striking markings
✔ Grows in a clump or loose spiral as it matures
✔ Produces bright red-orange, trumpet-shaped flowers in summer
✔ Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant
✔ A standout in succulent arrangements or minimalist pots

Care Instructions:

• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect to direct sunlight – a sunny windowsill is ideal

• Watering: Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings – water sparingly

• Soil: Use a gritty, well-draining cactus or succulent mix

• Feeding: Feed monthly during spring/summer with a cactus fertiliser

• Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures – keep above 10°C

• Growth: Grows slowly and stays compact, making it ideal for small spaces

🌿 Tip: This plant loves being a little rootbound – no need to repot often.
