Pachypodium lamerei, commonly called the Madagascar Palm, is a striking succulent native to the arid regions of Madagascar. Although it's called a palm, it's actually more closely related to cacti and other succulents. It's admired for its unique, spiny trunk, lush green foliage, and beautiful white or yellow flowers.

Appearance

  • Trunk/Stem: The most distinctive feature is its thick, succulent trunk covered in sharp spines. This trunk serves as a water reservoir, enabling the plant to survive in its dry, native habitat.

  • Leaves: Long, slender, and green leaves cluster at the top of the stem, creating a palm-like appearance. The leaves may drop during dormancy periods.

  • Flowers: In the blooming season, typically summer, it produces clusters of fragrant, white or yellow flowers, adding a touch of elegance to this already remarkable plant.

Growth Habits and Care

  • Sunlight: Thrives in full sun.

  • Soil: Requires well-draining soil to prevent root rot.

  • Watering: Drought-tolerant, so water only when the soil is completely dry.

Additional Information:

  • Pachypodium lamerei is a relatively slow grower, making it suitable for containers and smaller spaces.

  • Its striking appearance and unique features make it a highly sought-after plant for collectors and enthusiasts.

The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 190mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
