Alluaudia Procera
Alluaudia procera – The Madagascar Ocotillo – is a dramatic succulent tree that transforms any space with its bold, architectural form. Native to Madagascar's dry forests, it features tall, upright, cylindrical stems lined with small, sharp spines and topped with small, oval-shaped leaves during the growing season.
As the seasons change, Alluaudia procera sheds its leaves, revealing its striking, spiny silhouette — making it an eye-catching focal point year-round.
Key Features:
Architectural Form: Vertical, branching stems create a sculptural, candelabra-like appearance.
Textural Interest: Sharp spines add rugged character and bold texture to gardens or indoor collections.
Seasonal Foliage: Small, soft green leaves appear during active growth and drop during dormancy.
Drought Tolerance: Thrives with minimal watering and flourishes in arid, low-water landscapes.
Low Maintenance: Ideal for beginners and collectors alike due to its resilience and adaptability.
Care Guide:
Light: Bright, indirect light to full sun.
Water: Allow soil to dry thoroughly between waterings; very drought-tolerant.
Soil: Use a well-draining cactus or succulent mix.
Temperature: Protect from frost; prefers warm, dry climates.
Perfect For:
Xeriscapes and Rock Gardens: Stunning in dry, low-water environments.
Containers and Patio Gardens: Adds exotic flair to decks, patios, and indoor spaces.
Collectors: A prized addition for those seeking rare and unique succulents with character.
Bring the wild beauty of Madagascar to your garden or home with the extraordinary Alluaudia procera — a true conversation piece for any plant collection!
The first photo serves a display purpose only. The succulent plant housed in the red pot comes in a 190mm diameter container. While the image provides a representative depiction of what you will receive, but may vary slightly because no two succulents are the same.
