Pachypodium lamerei 90 cm

Pachypodium lamerei , often called the "Madagascar palm" or "elephant's foot", is a distinctive and fascinating succulent native to Madagascar. This plant is characterized by its thick, spiny trunk that stores water, allowing it to survive in arid conditions. The trunk can grow up to 1.5 to 2 meters tall indoors, and is crowned by rosettes of long, narrow, dark green, glossy leaves that add a tropical touch to any space. In summer, Pachypodium lamerei can produce large white or yellowish flowers, although flowering is rare when grown indoors.

Adapted to dry and sunny environments, Pachypodium lamerei requires little maintenance, making it an ideal plant for succulent lovers and beginner gardeners. It prefers a location in full sun and well-drained soil to avoid root rot. Moderate watering is necessary, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. In winter, the plant goes dormant and requires even less water. With its unique appearance and hardiness, Pachypodium lamerei brings a touch of exoticism and character to any garden, balcony or bright interior.
