Pickle Cactus is a succulent plant that has small
leaves shaped like pickles cucumbers, with bristly hairs, carried on
thin wiry stems. Leaves can grow to about 2.5 cm long and are light
green. The plant has a more upright habit than most Delospermas, often
reaching 1.5 ft. In containers or baskets, it will reach about 1 foot
in height. The most notable features are the water vesicles that cover
the leaves. Pickle Cactus is definitely not a cactus, but close to Ice
Plant. It is native to South Africa.
