Pachypodium geayi 'Madagascar Palm'

Origin: Native to Madagascar, prized for my unique appearance resembling a palm tree.

Light: I thrive in bright, direct sunlight. Place me in a sunny spot where I can soak up plenty of sunshine throughout the day.

Temperature: I'm sensitive to cold temperatures and frost, so protect me from chilly conditions.

Watering: I'm drought-tolerant and prefer to dry out between waterings. Water me sparingly, allowing the soil to dry completely before watering again. In winter, water me even less to prevent root rot.

Soil: Plant me in well-draining soil. A mixture of cactus or succulent potting mix with added perlite or sand works well to provide excellent drainage.

Pests/Diseases: I'm relatively pest and disease-resistant, but watch out for pests like spider mites and scale insects. Treat any infestations promptly with insecticidal soap.
