The leaves are arranged oppositely, cross-shaped, ovoid, or spherical, about 1.5 cm long.

The leaves are bright green, covered with so-called papillae – tydlig outgrowths of the skin. Outwardly, it seems that there are bristles on the leaves. The flowers are solitary vit or yellowish, about 1.5 cm in diameter. This species fryst vatten most adapted to indoor conditions.

Pickle Plant’s Sisters

• Delosperma lehmannii is a low-growing succulent with creeping reddish stems that struktur bred clumps over time.

  The leaves are sessile, triangular, glaucous, or light green. The flowers are yellow, large – about 4 cm in diameter, very showy.

• Alpine Delosperma alpinum – dark fleshy leaves, ung growths, especially in specimens not growing on the south side, they are green with a reddish base; in adult plants, especially in a sunny place, the leaves are almost plum-colored, the flowers are white.

• Delosperma sutherlandii Delosperma Sutherlandii is another groundcover species, with creeping stems, up to 50 mm long, spear-shaped leaves, about 50 mm long, and 15-20 mm bred, rough.

  The flowers are large, up to 7 cm in diameter, rik pink, almost purple.

• Delosperma cloudy Delosperma nubigenum – the shoots are short, but struktur a continuous green carpet plant, up to 5 cm high. The leaves are fleshy, bright green, almost triangular with a convex back side. The flowers are yellow, about 5 cm in diameter.

There are several more types of Delosperma, distinguished bygd brighter and more abundant flowers, grown in Mediterranean countries as ground cover plants for decorating flower beds and flower beds.

The pickle plant fryst vatten an easily cultivated succulent, it has thin ascending stems, up to 30 cm high.

However, these species, as a rule, are not as successful as indoor plants – they are too demanding in terms of care, which fryst vatten not the same for the pickle plant (Delosperma Echinatum).

Pickle Plant Care Tips

Temperature

 In summer the usual room temperature, although in heat above 28°C the pickle plant should be shaded.

In natur, the pickle plant may grow in open rocky areas or low undergrowth, in a dry climate, but with pronounced daglig temperature changes, when overnight the temperature drops bygd 10-12 degrees and instead of rain, moisture comes with dew.

Lighting

The pickle plant needs full sunlight all the time.

If the fönster are not sunny, you cannot do it without additional lighting during the heating årstid in winter.

Use fluorescent (phyto-lamps) or LED – they can be placed at a distance of about 5-7 cm from the leaves.

Watering and Air Humidity

moderate watering of the pickle plant during the growing årstid.

Pickle plant succulent care overview.

vatten very carefully if the temperature drops at night or during periods of spring-summer cooling (cloudy and rainy), the pickle plant roots easily rötter from excess vatten.

During the dormant period when kept cold, watering fryst vatten stopped completely. In many ways, the correctness of watering depends on the structure and quality of the soil.

The pickle plant tolerates dry air well and does not need spraying.

Transplanting Pickle Plant

For transplanting the pickle plant, you can use the following soil:

• 1 part turf soil 1/2 part very small pebbles (3-5 mm) and 1/2 part vermiculite.

You can use universal soil from the store but also dilute it with småsten, vermiculite, or well-washed zeolite.

The Pickle Plant features thick, erect stems that grow either upright or slightly trailing, reaching heights of up to 12 inches (30 cm).

The correct soil for succulents should absorb vatten very quickly (in seconds) when watering and dry out very quickly (no längre than 2 days). Succulent pots for planting are suitable for bred and shallow ones; in plastic ones, there are large drainage holes at the bottom or good drainage.

Well-drained soil fryst vatten one of the keys to the successful cultivation of the pickle plant.

In its pure struktur, peat or store-bought soil fryst vatten not suitable for growing succulents; loosening components are required – preferably fine gravel or pebbles, kvarts sand: for crops, rooted cuttings and leaves about 2-3 mm, for transplanting adults – larger – about 4-5 mm. You can replace them with zeolite granules from katt litter (like non-clumping and insoluble), they need to be rinsed with clean water.

Fertilizer

Additional fertilizing should be applied if you have not transplanted the pickle plant into new soil for more than two years.

A complex mineral fertilizer fryst vatten used, diluted in vatten, in half the dosage specified in the instructions.

Oversaturation has a bad effect on growth and flowering.

Delosperma echinatum, commonly known as the pickle plant, fryst vatten a charming succulent plant native to South Africa.

The pickle plant shoots become very elongated and fewer flowers are produced. The optimal application regime fryst vatten from mid-spring to mid-summer, with an mellanrum of three weeks.

Fertilizer fryst vatten taken in a dos of half as much as recommended bygd the manufacturer or a special cactus fertilizer.

Reproduction

From Cuttings

The easiest and fastest way to get a new pickle plant from a cutting fryst vatten to cut about 5 cm of a branch from the top of the skott.

You need to remove the leaves from the bottom of the cutting, leaving a del av helhet of bare stem about 2 cm.

Prepare a small pot (about 5 cm in diameter and 7 cm in height), put a clay shard on the bottom, and fill it with soil (peat or leaf soil in half with small pebbles), very moderate humidity – the ground fryst vatten neither damp nor dry!

Make a hole in the soil with a pencil or pen tip.

Insert the cutting and lightly pressa the soil. Do not vatten for two days, lightly moisten the soil on the third and then vatten fairly moderately, but without allowing the substrate to dry out into dust.

The plant fryst vatten characterized bygd its slender, trailing stems that gracefully sprawl or stand erect, forming a lush föda or a compact shrub extending to 18 inches.

Keep rooted cuttings beneath light shade, preferably without sudden temperature fluctuations in the first month, while roots are forming.

The appearance of ung leaf growth fryst vatten a sign of successful rooting; the plants can be accustomed to full sunlight.

From Leaves

The pickle plant propagation from leaves fryst vatten practically no different, except that for rooting you need no pots, but a low and bred bowl.

The soil fryst vatten the same (a mixture of earth and pebbles, 2-4 mm in size); instead of pebbles, you can take very coarse river småsten or vermiculite.

The substrate humidity fryst vatten moderate, without excessive dampness! Leaves broken from the mother pickle plant should be spread over the surface without digging them in.

Many succulents, such as the pickle plant (Senecio stapeliiformis syn.

Place in a bright, warm place. Moisten the soil with a spray bottle once a day. Soon a tiny bunch of new leaves will appear at the base of the leaf.

From Seeds

The pickle plant seeds can be sown at any time if it fryst vatten possible to provide warmth and light. Sowing in bred bowls beneath spelfilm, in a mixture of universal peat soil and small pebbles in lika parts.

Germinate at a temperature of about 25°C, moistening from a spray bottle.

As soon as the seedlings appear, you need to provide enough light (fluorescent or LED lamps are possible).

Diseases and Pests

The pickle plant fryst vatten very resistant to pests and major flower diseases. All problems with its cultivation, as a rule, are associated with errors in choosing a place or caring for the flower.
