🌵 Senecio stapeliiformis – Care Tips

A striking succulent with upright, pencil-like stems and purple tiger-like stripes – also known as the “Pickle Plant” or “Candle Plant.”

☀️ Light

• Needs bright, indirect sunlight

• Tolerates some morning sun; protect from strong afternoon rays

• Indoors: best near south or east-facing windows

💧 Watering

• Water thoroughly only when soil is completely dry

• About every 2–3 weeks during the growing season

• Reduce watering in winter (dormant period)

• Avoid overwatering – very sensitive to root rot

🌱 Soil

• Requires fast-draining soil – cactus/succulent mix is ideal

• Mix in pumice or perlite for extra drainage

• Pot must have drainage holes

🌡️ Temperature & Humidity

• Prefers warm climates (18–26°C / 65–80°F)

• Not frost-hardy – bring indoors below 10°C (50°F)

• Low humidity preferred – thrives in dry air

🌸 Flowering

• Can produce long, tubular orange flowers in summer

• Flowers attract pollinators and add a surprise pop of color

🌿 Growth & Propagation

• Grows upright then sprawls as it matures

• Easily propagated by stem cuttings – allow to callous before planting

🐾 Pet Safety

• Toxic to pets if ingested – keep away from cats and dogs

Pro Tip: Rotate the plant regularly to ensure even growth, and avoid crowding it – good airflow keeps it healthy.
