Madagascar Palm – Pachypodium lamerei

Add a touch of the exotic with the striking Madagascar Palm, a unique succulent prized for its dramatic appearance. Despite its name, it’s not a true palm but a member of the Apocynaceae family. Its tall, thick, spiny trunk stores water for drought resistance, while a crown of long, narrow green leaves creates a bold, tropical silhouette. Mature plants may even surprise you with fragrant, starry white flowers under the right conditions.

Native to Madagascar, this plant thrives in bright light and minimal care, making it perfect for sunny windows, patios, or as a statement piece in desert-style gardens. Its unusual form and hardy nature make it a favorite for collectors and anyone looking to showcase something out of the ordinary.
