Pachypodium Lamerei

Pachypodium Lamerei – Often referred to as the Madagascar Palm (though not a true palm), Pachypodium Lamerei features a tall, spiny trunk topped with long, narrow leaves. In its native Madagascar, it can grow impressively tall, but when grown indoors, it remains more compact, adding a bold, sculptural element to any space. In mature plants, it may produce white, fragrant flowers.

Care guide:
- Light: Prefers full sun or very bright, indirect light.
- Water: Water thoroughly, allowing soil to dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in winter.
- Soil: Well-draining cactus or succulent mix is essential.
- Temperature: Prefers warm temperatures and cannot tolerate frost (keep above 10°C).
- Fertiliser: Feed with a succulent fertiliser during the growing season.
- Maintenance: Low; repot every few years as needed.

With its exotic appearance and minimal care requirements, Pachypodium Lamerei is a perfect choice for those wanting a striking, resilient plant.
