Madagascar Palm

Pachypodium lamerei, commonly known as the Madagascar Palm, is a striking succulent that resembles a palm tree but is actually a member of the dogbane family. Its thick, silver-gray trunk is covered in sharp spines and topped with a crown of long, glossy green leaves, creating a bold architectural look. Easy to care for and exceptionally drought-tolerant, it’s a favorite among succulent and collector plant enthusiasts.

Care Tips
