12" Madagascar Palm

Madagascar Palm (Pachypodium lamerei)
Despite its name, this isn’t a true palm—it’s a spiny succulent with a thick, trunk-like stem and a crown of long, tropical-looking leaves. The Madagascar Palm thrives in bright light and stores water in its swollen base, making it incredibly drought-tolerant. Give it sun and space, and it can grow into a tall, sculptural centerpiece.

Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Full sun to bright, direct light—loves a sunny window
💧 Water: Let soil dry completely between waterings
🌡 Temperature: Warmth-loving; protect from temps below 50°F
🐾 Pet Friendly: No

Fun Fact: Native to Madagascar, this plant can grow over 10 feet tall in the wild—but stays much more manageable indoors, especially in containers.
