Delosperma echinatum

The pickle plant succulent, Delosperma echinatum, is a compact Aizoaceae species from South Africa with fleshy green leaves covered in fine white bristles. Its stems branch from a small base, hold partly upright when young and loosen into a soft trailing clump as they lengthen.

Rounded leaves store water and create the plant’s distinctive bristled texture. Mature, well-lit plants may produce small yellow, daisy-like flowers during the brighter growing season.

Bristled pickle plant profile

  • Compact succulent subshrub in the ice plant family Aizoaceae
  • Opposite, blunt-tipped leaves with a soft bristled surface
  • Small branching habit that can trail gently over the pot edge
  • Yellow daisy-like flowers possible on mature, well-lit growth
  • Bright light and fast-draining mineral substrate keep growth compact

South African range and pot habit

Native to the south-eastern Cape region of South Africa, this species grows as a compact succulent subshrub. Opposite, blunt-tipped leaves sit close along the stems and carry fine, soft white spine-like hairs on the surface.

In containers, Delosperma echinatum stays small and benefits from bright light, airflow and a substrate that dries evenly after watering. Its water-storing stems are brittle, so careful handling keeps the clump intact.

Delosperma echinatum care

  • Light: Place in very bright light with gentle direct sun where possible. Strong light keeps the stems compact.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly, then allow the whole substrate to dry before the next soak. The water-storing leaves favour a clear dry interval between soakings.
  • Substrate: Use a gritty cactus or succulent mix with pumice, lava rock, coarse sand or fine grit.
  • Pot choice: Choose a pot with drainage holes. Shallow terracotta or a breathable nursery pot helps the mix dry at a steady pace.
  • Temperature: Keep above 10 °C for reliable indoor growth. Cool winter conditions suit the plant best when the substrate stays much drier.
  • Humidity: Average indoor humidity is enough. Air movement around the stems supports clean, firm growth.
  • Feeding: Use a diluted cactus fertiliser sparingly during spring and summer growth.
  • Pruning: Pinch or trim stretched stems to encourage a denser clump. Let cuttings dry briefly before rooting.
  • Seasonal rhythm: Reduce watering in winter as growth slows, then return to a fuller soak-and-dry rhythm once new growth resumes.

Pickle plant growth signals

  • Soft, translucent stems: Check drainage, root health and watering frequency; repot into a drier mineral mix if moisture lingers around the roots.
  • Long gaps between leaves: Increase light gradually and trim stretched stems to rebuild a compact shape.
  • Wrinkled leaves: Water deeply when the substrate is fully dry and the roots are firm and healthy.
  • Breaking stem pieces: Handle by the pot to protect the brittle stems, especially after moving, handling or repotting.

Bristles and brittle-stem handling

A raised, low-contact position protects the brittle shoots from curious handling. The white bristles belong to the leaf surface, and the plant handles best by the pot.

Name origin in Aizoaceae

Delosperma combines Greek roots meaning “visible seed”, a reference to exposed seeds in the fruiting capsule. The species epithet echinatum means bristly or hedgehog-like. Botanically, the accepted name is Delosperma echinatum (Lam.) Schwantes in the family Aizoaceae.

Delosperma echinatum forms a compact, bristled South African succulent with pickle-like stems and yellow flowers in bright conditions.

Easy to use
Color: Navy, Size: 10 Foot, Color: Navy, Size: 10 Foot
Easy setup and easy use, cranks open very smoothly with no trouble. The fabric is opaque (not light filtering) and sturdy with edges sewn to last. This umbrella provides ample shade and sun protection. It works great and is pretty much as expected. I do find the tilt feature a tad tricky sometimes, maybe becsuse I’ve got smaller hands idk, but other than that it’s great.

Budget Baddie...
Color: Tan, Size: 9 Foot
This is a quality/durable self driven (me) beast of an umbrella replacement...It has good color and we chose the Tan 9ft. Easy usage for its weight class all while being budget friendly... atmospheric presence of richness & sturdiness, and very easy to open and close to adjust to this unit's comforts. I haven't put this umbrella out for the season as of yet... because the snow is still present on the grounds of New England! "WE WINN"

Beautiful and works great.
Color: Navy, Size: 10 Foot, Color: Navy, Size: 10 Foot
I decided to try this because my old umbrella had seen better days and it was time to replace it. I am very pleased with the quality and the ease of assembly with this umbrella. It’s very sturdy and I like the quality of the fabric and the metal. It’s very easy to open and close and it makes my patio look great. It gives me the perfect amount of shade and the fabric thickness is perfect at keeping the harsh sunbeams from getting through. I also think the price is great for what you get. I would definitely recommend this umbrella because it’s made well and works well. It’s also very easy to clean. I just use my garden hose and spray it down and let it air dry. It also fit perfectly in the stand I already had and it works great. I am very happy I got to try this out.

Great replacement patio table umbrella.
Color: Tan, Size: 10 Foot
After a windstorm destroyed my old umbrella on our patio set, I was looking for a new one that wouldn't break the bank but also held up to the direct sun of the summer months. This umbrella did not disappoint! The material part of the umbrella top seems like it is nice and thick and the stitching is overlapped in the corners which should provide a lot of strength for the windy days. I really like the neutral colors of the fabric, as that will go well with the rest of my outdoor furniture. The medal pole portion is perfectly straight and the pivot point connection seems nice and tight. I would think that this umbrella will stand the test of time. No assembly needed, just pull it out of the box and extend the fabric.
