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.

It is a good sunscreen, but if your skin is very oily, think again.
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50
I have tried many, MANY sunscreens, and this one is in my top 10, but not at the very top. Why not? Well, what I like about it is that you get a good amount for an excellent price. It's lightweight, but not extremely so, and this size can easily last you 3 months without any problem. However, while it's made for oily skin, it's not that light. After just a few hours of application, it can leave your skin feeling greasy, especially if you sweat easily. It doesn't leave a white cast, but it does leave a slight, shiny finish. Reapplying isn't very comfortable. If you use it just once a day, it's fine, but if you apply it more often, your skin will feel a bit heavy and oily. I think this sunscreen is better for specific occasions rather than for daily use. If I had to choose a sunscreen for daily use, I would pick one with a lighter formula, like Fusion Water from Isdin.

stellar sunscreen for face- sensitive skin friendly, feels good not greasy on, timeless
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50
I used to try out different brands and this is the one I've got to have for my face- safe on sensitive skin and just feels really nice and not greasy putting on, sometimes I get stuck borrowing so now I get a few and have them in various places. Also, I appreciate they don't change the packaging or add other versions so I can grab and always feels great and works on

Works great but does not hold up to sweat
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 50
Dissolves with intense exercise then burns eyes and makes a mess, but otherwise works great.
