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.

Strong and Great for Treats, but Heavier Than Expected
Style: Gorilla, Size: Small (Pack of 1), Style: Gorilla, Size: Small (Pack of 1)
This is a very durable and well-made chew toy with good overall quality. The material is thick rubber and holds up well to chewing. It also works very well for holding treats, which stay in place securely. The main drawback is the weight. My dog is about 30 pounds, and even though this is a smaller version, it is still fairly heavy. She tends to use it mainly to get the treats out and then loses interest afterward. What I like: Very durable material Works great for holding treats Good bounce and quality construction Cute design Things to be aware of: Heavier than expected Some treats may be difficult to insert Dogs may lose interest once treats are gone Overall: This is a solid treat-based toy that is built well, but the weight may limit how much some dogs interact with it beyond treat use.

Extremely tough!
Style: Gorilla, Size: Large (Pack of 1)
These are seriously so much better (and cheaper) than any other supposedly "strong/durable" type toy like this. We have 70lb very strong chewers and they chew through everything. Can not have stuffies. They do eventually chew through but it seriously takes awhile. Especially in comparison to other brands. I will say it says "recommended for dogs under 35lbs" but I also work for houses where I recommended these for their dogs which were smaller and they wouldn't chew on because too tough. But they also accidentally bought the large which is what I buy my big dogs. So the large is GREAT for big dogs. If you have a dog under 35lbs I'd get the size small. Also .... says you can stuff treats. You really can't. Which my dogs don't need. They just love to chew on. I call it their bubble gum because when they FINALLY get a chunk off(which again takes awhile.... as in over a week) they will fling the pieces into the air and chew on like a piece of bubble gum lol... they love it! I don't notice a difference in breath or anything but I don't use the toothpaste either. I just bought to see if tough and they are!! And again price is clearly so much better. I hate spending $20+ on a toy they destroy in a day.

Beware if your dog likes to chew
Style: Gorilla, Size: Large (Pack of 1)
It’s super cute and my dog loved it, but it didn’t last very long. My dog started peeling off pieces of it and eating it within three hours of play. If you have a dog that takes it easy on the toys I would recommend this one. Otherwise I recommend passing because there’s no way it’s safe for them to be swallowing these pieces.

Lasted pretty long for my aggressive chewer
Style: Gorilla, Size: Large (Pack of 1)
Right away I was excited with this product because of the smell, texture and thickness. Smells minty fresh which does help with breath smell. The texture is great, had smooth areas and rigid areas all while being soft and durable. The product is pretty thick, which I needed for my Pit-Bull. She doesn’t chew much but, when she decides to she is 110% in and dedicated to destroying that item. She chews through most things in less than a day. This product however lasted years before I started to notice damage. It is one of her favorite toys. She liked it so much I bought two, one for the house and one for the car for road trips. It’s the perfect toy to keep a chewer distracted inside a car, along side a deer antler, which also helps with dental hygiene. She gets dental hygiene compliments every trip to the Vet. We use multiple different things to help with her teeth and breathe but, I think this toy contributes the most to her healthy teeth. I call it a toy because she plays with it all the time. Definitely will keep buying long as they keep making it. This product is a must for all dogs, it’s almost perfect for my Pit-Bull

Currently surviving a SUPER CHEWER!
Style: Gorilla, Size: Small (Pack of 1), Style: Gorilla, Size: Small (Pack of 1)
Welcomed a pomeranian/terrier mix to the family recently. Although he is small he is very capable of tearing things apart! He has destroyed many, many types and brands of toys. When he grew tired of destroying those he turned to objects in my house, walls, furniture, railing etc! I've tried different brands and textures and this is one of only 2 brands he hasn't outright destroyed! He's had this toy for almost a month now and it has come out of this time almost completely unscathed! You'll notice there's a little damage to one of the hands and top of the head but hes managed to destroy toys in an hour or less, so I consider this a big win and will absolutely replace with the same product when the time comes! There's a hole, I think for treats. I haven't used that. It also has a smell, almost like baby powder. In any event, absolutely worth the price which I found to be great to begin with. My dog loves it, and me and my house are soo glad he's chewing on this! If you have a super chewer (I'd never heard of that) I strongly suggest this toy. They also have larger ones for bigger breeds!
