Curio radicans 'Blue Pickle' – Fast-Growing Succulent Vine with Blue-Green Pickle-Shaped Leaves

Curio radicans 'Blue Pickle', also circulated in horticulture under the synonym Senecio radicans and commonly called Blue Pickle Vine or Fishhooks Senecio, is a vigorous trailing succulent perfect for hanging baskets and shelves. Its cascading stems carry distinctive, pickle-shaped leaves in a cool blue-green tone, each coated in a fine epicuticular wax that softens light reflection. Leaf “windows” – translucent stripes running along the length – allow sunlight to reach the inner tissues, an adaptation typical of drought-tolerant succulents.

Key Features of Curio radicans 'Blue Pickle'

  • Leaf form: Slender, cylindrical, pickle-like leaves with translucent windows
  • Colour: Blue-green hue accentuated by a powdery farina coating
  • Growth style: Trailing stems that can extend over 1 m in length
  • Flowering: Produces small white discoid flower heads, lightly scented
  • Decorative use: Excellent for hanging pots, window boxes, and vertical displays

Natural Habitat and Background

The wild form Curio radicans is native to South Africa, where it creeps and trails over rocky slopes in semi-arid habitats. Its succulent foliage and waxy coating help conserve water in intense sun and drought. In cultivation, 'Blue Pickle' offers a more ornamental presentation, prized for its glaucous tones and fast growth indoors.

How to Grow and Maintain Curio radicans 'Blue Pickle'

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; tolerates some direct morning sun
  • Watering: Follow a soak-and-dry cycle; let soil dry fully before watering again
  • Substrate: Use a well-draining cactus/succulent mix with added grit
  • Temperature: Ideal range is 18 – 28 °C; protect from frost
  • Humidity: Tolerates low indoor humidity; avoid over-misting
  • Feeding: Fertilize monthly during spring – summer with diluted cactus feed

Seasonal Rhythm and Growth

This cultivar grows most actively in spring and summer, producing long trailing shoots that quickly fill a pot or basket. In cooler months, growth slows, and watering should be reduced to prevent root rot. The waxy coating helps the plant cope with dry indoor conditions year-round.

Common Problems and Prevention

  • Wrinkled leaves: Usually from underwatering; water thoroughly then drain
  • Mushy stems: Caused by overwatering or poor drainage
  • Pale colour: May occur in insufficient light; move closer to a window
  • Pests: Watch for mealybugs or aphids on soft new growth

Additional Notes

While its bead-like leaves resemble edible grapes or pickles, all parts of Curio radicans are toxic if ingested. Keep out of reach of children and pets. With proper care, this plant creates a cascading curtain of blue-green foliage that instantly adds dimension to interiors.

Etymology of Curio radicans

The genus Curio was separated from Senecio in 1997 by P.V. Heath to include species with elongated succulent leaves and discoid flower heads. The name is derived from Latin curiosus, meaning “curious,” likely in reference to their unusual morphology. The species epithet radicans means “rooting” or “clinging,” describing the way stems take root when they touch soil.

Nice chew toy
Color: Dogwood Mushroom, Size: Medium, Color: Dogwood Mushroom, Size: Medium
Super durable and puppy loves it. It was a bit hard for her at first but now at 5 months it’s one of her favorite things to gnaw on! It is heavy for the size but seems to be great quality and has given many hours of chew time with minimal wear.

Puppy loves these sticks!
Color: Dogwood & Calming, Size: Medium
Dogs love these sticks! Must smell and taste like real wood because it keeps my puppy from bringing real sticks in the house from outside. She is a heavy chewer and these sticks keep her occupied. We are on our 2nd set.
