Kleinia Stapeliiformis, aka Pickle Cactus, Candle Stick Cactus or Senecio stapeliaeformis, is an interesting succulent with tiny leaves and pencil-like cylindrical stems. The stems are brittle and succulent, with soft spines along the sides. It can grow up to 10 inches long and you can shape its long stems into intricate shapes. White new growth, called rhizomes, sprouts from the stem underground, and then gain their dark green and silver colour when exposed to sunlight.

Pro tips

The taller the stems grow, the more they tend to start getting floppy. They should be pruned back towards the firmer half of the stem during early spring, producing offshoots protruding from the stem over time.

Care Guide

How to take care of Pickle Cactus

They love as much sun as possible. The best spot for them is where they can see the sun during the majority of the day.

They will do best in bright light. A nice bright place inside your home would be on the window sill or a stool that is right next to a window, either with or without blinds, depending on if the plant can handle sun. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

They like the soil to be completely dry before the next watering. That usually takes about 4 weeks in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but for them, it's always safer to underwater or water when you see signs of lack of water (i.e. wrinkly or soft leaves). Water a little more often in the warmer months.

Their humidity requirement is low, so do not mist them or put them in a terrarium.

You can feel comfortable having this plant around your home in the potential case where your pet feels like nibbling on it. However, we typically recommend keeping your pets from eating any of your houseplants.
