Pachypodium lamerei – Madagascar Palm

 Pot Size: 9cm

🌿🌵 Pachypodium lamerei – Madagascar Palm 🌿🌵

Despite its name, the Madagascar Palm isn’t actually a palm at all — it’s a unique succulent that combines the look of a cactus and a palm tree in one striking plant. Its tall, spiny trunk stores water, while a crown of glossy green leaves sits proudly at the top, creating an exotic, sculptural silhouette. A true statement piece that thrives on sunshine and minimal care.

Key Features:
✔ Distinctive spiny trunk with palm-like foliage
✔ Drought-tolerant and easy to care for
✔ Adds a dramatic, architectural look to interiors
✔ Stores water in its stem – perfect for forgetful waterers
✔ Excellent choice for bright, sunny spots

Care Instructions:
Light: Loves bright light and full sun – the more light, the better
Watering: Allow soil to dry out completely between waterings; reduce watering in winter
Humidity: Prefers dry air; no misting needed
Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix
Feeding: Fertilise monthly in spring and summer with a diluted cactus feed
Temperature: Prefers warmth – ideally 18–30°C; protect from frost and cold drafts

🌵 Tip: Handle carefully – the spines are sharp! Rotate occasionally for even growth and to keep the plant’s crown balanced.
