Grab yourself a cute Pickle Plant.  Easy to care for and drought tolerant.  Bonus: There are no needles or thorns to stick you.

Plant will come in a 2 inch plastic pot.  It will be about 3-4 inches tall.

Light

Senecio stapeliiformis succulents actually light indirect light, but it should be bright sunlight. That’s the note for those who are growing these plants in hot climates. But if you live in cooler regions, you should make sure that they get full sunlight. That is applicable to winter care as well.

Watering       

Now, this is an important part to note. Since Senecio stapeliiformis plants are succulents, they are very good when it comes to resisting drought. That’s because these plants have the ability to store water in their foliage. If you give them too much water or the soil is too moist, it will make their leaves explode.

So, most of the time, you just need to let the roots dry completely before you water them again. If you water them before they are totally dry, the roots will soak in water and that’s not good because they are very susceptible to rotting. You will notice that the plant and the roots turn mushy and that’s unhealthy.

The best way to verify this is to check the levels of moisture in the soil. If you see that the leaves are pruning or wrinkling, it means that the plant needs to be watered. At the peak of their growing season, you should water these plants once a week or two.

In the winter, you can reduce that drastically and bring it down to once a month. Essentially, look for visual cues which will tell you when the plant needs water. When the leaves look soft, deflated or pruned you should give them some water.
