Madagascar Palm Live Plant – Pachypodium lamerei – Indoor & Outdoor

Pachypodium lamerei, commonly known as Madagascar Palm, is a distinctive succulent-like ornamental plant native to Madagascar. It is recognized for its thick, water-storing trunk, crown of green leaves, and naturally spiny stems.

This live plant is suitable for indoor growing and can also be grown outdoors in appropriate warm conditions. Its architectural form makes it an attractive choice for houseplant collections, patios, and sunny garden displays.

The plant prefers well-draining loam soil and indirect to partial sunlight. Allow the top inch of soil to dry before watering. Handle carefully because the plant has hooked spines and contains a latex sap that should not be ingested.
