Pachypodium lamerei – Madagascar Palm | Exotic Sculptural Succulent

Bring bold, tropical drama to your space with the Madagascar Palm (Pachypodium lamerei)—a striking, architectural succulent prized for its sculptural silhouette. Though not a true palm, this standout species showcases a thick, spiny, bottle-shaped trunk crowned with long, graceful leaves that instantly create a lush, resort-style look.

Native to Madagascar’s arid landscapes, this hardy succulent thrives with minimal fuss and rewards growers with impressive growth. In ideal warm conditions, mature plants may even produce elegant, fragrant white blooms, adding an extra touch of beauty to its already captivating form.

Perfect for collectors, statement planters, patios, or tropical-themed gardens, the Madagascar Palm delivers maximum impact with minimal care.

Care Tips

Light:
Thrives in bright, full sunlight. While it can handle partial shade, maximum growth and form are achieved with abundant light.

Watering:
Water deeply during the active growing season (spring–summer), allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. In winter, when the plant enters dormancy, reduce watering significantly.

Soil:
Use a fast-draining cactus or succulent mix. Incorporating sand or perlite enhances drainage and prevents root rot.

Temperature:
Prefers warm environments and should be protected from frost or extended exposure to cold temperatures.

Propagation:
Most commonly propagated from seed. Exercise caution when handling, as the trunk and branches are armed with sharp spines.
