Description
Add quirky character and bold texture to your plant collection with the Pickle Plant (Kleinia stapeliiformis), also known as the Candle Stick Plant. Native to South Africa, this rare succulent is part of the daisy family, though its look is anything but ordinary. Its cylindrical, gray-green stems give the appearance of whimsical little pickles reaching skyward.
This succulent is more than just a spooky showpiece, it’s also delightfully easy to care for. Drought-tolerant, low-maintenance, and unfazed by average household conditions, it’s the perfect companion for plant parents who prefer a “set it and forget it” approach. Just place it in bright light and let it thrive, quietly adding a haunted elegance to your shelves, mantels, or windowsills.
Styling Tips
Show off your Pickle Plant on a bright windowsill or small plant stand where it can soak up sunlight. Its sculptural shape pairs beautifully with clean, modern décor or colorful ceramics. For a fun contrast, display it beside smooth-leafed succulents like the Jade Plant. You can also place it in a shallow dish garden for a playful, desert-inspired look.
Who It’s Good For
The Pickle Plant is ideal for beginners, travelers, and busy plant parents who want a quirky, low-maintenance houseplant. It’s also great for collectors who love rare or conversation-starting plants. With its fun texture, hardy nature, and cheerful presence, the Pickle Plant is the perfect mix of unique and easygoing—guaranteed to bring smiles to your space.
