Pachypodium Bispinosum
Pachypodium bispinosum – The Karoo Rose
Add a touch of rugged beauty to your collection with Pachypodium bispinosum, also known as the Karoo Rose or Bobbejaankool. Native to the arid landscapes of South Africa, this striking succulent shrub is prized for its sculptural form, spiny branches, and vibrant blooms—making it a standout in any succulent collection or xeriscape garden.
Key Features:
Swollen Caudex – Its most distinctive feature is a large, partially subterranean caudex that serves as a water reservoir. With its rough, corky bark and irregular shape, it adds a natural, aged charm to any display.
Spiny Branches – Numerous spiny stems emerge from the caudex, forming a bold, architectural silhouette. The paired, straight spines not only add character but also help minimize water loss.
Deciduous Foliage – Small, narrow, light-green leaves grow in clusters along the branches. As a drought adaptation, the plant sheds its leaves during dry seasons to conserve moisture.
Showy Blooms – In spring and summer, stunning bell-shaped flowers in shades of pink to purple appear at the branch tips, adding a splash of color.
Care Tips:
Light: Prefers full sun for optimal growth and flowering.
Watering: Water moderately during the growing season, allowing the soil to dry completely between waterings. Reduce watering significantly during winter dormancy.
Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix to prevent root rot.
