Its distinctive appearance makes it a highly sought-after specimen.

Care Tips:

• Light: Requires bright, indirect to direct sunlight for optimal growth and flowering. Provide ample light, especially during the growing season.
• Soil: Needs well-draining succulent or cactus mix. Ensure excellent drainage to prevent root rot.   
• Water: Water sparingly during the active growing season (spring and summer), allowing the soil to dry out thoroughly between waterings. Reduce watering significantly or stop entirely during the dormant winter months.   
• Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures during the growing season. Protect from frost and temperatures below 50°F (10°C) in winter.   
• Humidity: Tolerates low to moderate humidity.
• Fertilizing: Fertilize lightly during the growing season with a balanced, diluted succulent fertilizer once or twice. Avoid fertilizing during dormancy.
• Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant outgrows its container, using a well-draining mix.   
• Dormancy: Pachypodium baronii naturally goes dormant in the cooler months, losing its leaves. This is a normal process, and watering should be significantly reduced or stopped during this time.
