Description

Delosperma echinatum, commonly known as the Pickle Plant or Prickly Ice Plant, is a quirky succulent native to South Africa. Its cylindrical, bright green leaves are covered in soft, white bristles (you can stroke them), giving them a spiky yet fuzzy appearance that resembles tiny pickles. The plant produces small, daisy-like yellow flowers during spring and summer, enhancing its ornamental appeal. Typically reaching about 15–20 cm in height, it has a compact and spreading growth habit, making it an excellent choice for pots, windowsills, or hanging baskets.

Caring for Delosperma echinatum is straightforward. It thrives in bright, indirect sunlight but can tolerate some direct light if acclimated gradually. The plant requires well-draining soil, such as a cactus mix, and should be watered only when the soil has completely dried out to avoid root rot. While it prefers warm temperatures above 10°C and dry environments, it should be protected from frost.

Tip: This plant is also easy to propagate from cuttings, making it a fun addition for enthusiasts who enjoy sharing or expanding their collection.

Houseplant Guarantee

We offer a 7-day health guarantee for all plants. This means you have 7 days from the date your plant arrives to report any damages. During this time, you must provide photos of the plant as evidence. After the 7-day period, we cannot process any claims, as it falls outside of our live arrival guarantee.

Important: Repotting your plant within the first 7 days will void our guarantee.
