Pachypodium Madagascar Palm 190mm

Add exotic drama to your collection with the Madagascar Palm, a unique succulent tree native to Madagascar. Despite its name, it’s not a true palm—it’s part of the Apocynaceae family. This striking plant features a thick, spiny, grey trunk that stores water, topped with a lush crown of long, narrow, glossy green leaves. In summer, mature plants can reward you with fragrant white flowers.

Special Characteristics:

• Tropical Appeal: Palm-like appearance with a succulent twist.

• Water-Storing Trunk: Thick, spiny stem helps it thrive in dry conditions.

• Seasonal Blooms: Large, fragrant white flowers in warm months when mature.

• Low Maintenance: Perfect for sunny spots with minimal care needs.

Growth Habit:

• Upright growth, reaching 1.5–6 m tall in the ground, smaller in pots.

• Slow to moderate growth rate.

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers full sun to bright, indirect light.

• Water: Water sparingly; allow soil to dry completely between waterings.

• Soil: Well-draining cactus or succulent mix.

• Temperature: Frost-sensitive; keep above 10°C.

• Fertiliser: Light feeding in spring and summer.

• Handling Tip: Wear gloves—spines are sharp.

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.
