For 2-years and some, I've had her as Moonglow Crassula Muscosa. Is she really Moonglow or Pickle plant?

Ohh, ok got it, thanks!

#### Phil ha respondido el 2025-07-21

Just an fyi, a crassula muscosa is this. Also known as a rat tail plant.

Yes you're right, watchchain or zipper. I had it 2 years ago until it got cooked and dried up, left me to feel guilty for a while 😂

This is my pickle plant (one of them, several go by that common nickname) “Dill”  
She has been chopped and propped since this picture lol  
You can see the scientific name if you click on the photo

Thanks Fuey, they don't look the same, you think?

#### fuey ha respondido el 2025-07-21

I think so, they have the same little tips sticking out. They’re not prickly, more soft.  
I’m happy to see another one of these guys, I feel like they’re not as popular as the rest.

#### PrettyLittleThings ha respondido el 2025-07-21

Perfect then, Pickle plant it is... She's going to have to get adjusted to her new name 😂

### Kelly a commenté le 2025-07-21

Wow! Beautiful! Since I joined this app a month ago my wishlist has grown exponentially! Just added pickle plant!

#### PrettyLittleThings ha respondido el 2025-07-21

There's so many out there to get, lol!

#### Sylvia ha respondido el 2025-07-21

My wishlist too Kelly 😁

crassula mesembryanthemoides

#### Wolfen 🐺 ha respondido el 2025-07-21

Pickle plant

#### PrettyLittleThings ha respondido el 2025-07-21

That's right! The M is for Mesembryanthemoides, not Muscosa. I know that was the other kind I used to have, lol. Thanks!

#### fuey ha respondido el 2025-07-21

how do you know the difference between that and the delosperma echinatum?  
mine was labeled delosperma gherkin, i just have it as delosperma echinatum. i wonder if it’s a locational difference?

#### Wolfen 🐺 ha respondido el 2025-07-21

@fuey Its basically a visual difference, in growth pattern, and if you look closely, the pickle plant ... well looks like pickles lol.. where as the C. Mesembryanthemoides has more pointy ends. The color is also different

### Kelly a commenté le 2025-07-21

Absolutely, Im working on it!

### Sylvia a commenté le 2025-07-21

My god that’s one beautiful plant 😍😍😍😍😍😍😱

#### PrettyLittleThings ha respondido el 2025-07-21
