Delosperma Echinatum aka Pickle Plant comes from their little gherkins look leaves. Native of the Eastern Cape of South Africa, this cute little plant usually grows at quite high altitude, which make it pretty tolerant of chilly temperatures. In warm months, small yellow flowers might appear among the leaves.

Sun: Direct

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.

Light: Bright

The minimum light requirement for them is 0 - 3 feet away from the nearest light source. A good bright place inside your home would be on the window sill or a stool that is right next to a window. If you can, put them outside when the tempeature allows.

Water: Every 2 weeks

They like the soil to be completely dry before the next watering. That usually takes about two weeks in an average home environment. It may vary depends on your environment and light condition, but for them, it's always safer to underwater or water when you see signs of lack of water like floppy, droop, or soft leaves.

Humidity: Low

Their humidity requirement is low. So do not mist them or put them in an aquarium.

Care Tips

In spring and summer, give it a monthly feed with liquid fertiliser to help it grow (make sure to use fertiliser made for succulents).

What to Expect

The plant comes with a default nursery pot. Washable Paper Planter Bags are sold separately.
