Pachypodium geayi, commonly known as the Madagascar Palm, is a striking succulent native to the arid regions of southern Madagascar. Despite its common name, it is not a true palm but a member of the Apocynaceae family.

Growth Habit: Pachypodium geayi is known for its robust, spiny trunk, which serves as a water reservoir during drought conditions. This plant can grow up to 6 to 8 feet tall in cultivation, though it often remains smaller when grown in pots.

Leaf Characteristics:The leaves of Pachypodium geayi are long, slender, and lanceolate, forming a dense rosette at the top of the trunk. They are bright green, providing a lush contrast to the stark, thorny trunk below.

Container Gardening: It is well-suited to container cultivation, where its growth can be more easily managed, and it can be protected from extreme cold.

Drought-Tolerant Landscapes: Ideal for xeriscaping and other water-wise garden designs due to its drought resistance.

Low Maintenance: Requires minimal care once established, needing only occasional watering and feeding.

Light: Prefers full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Full sun promotes the best growth and flowering.
