Pachypodium lamerei 'Madagascar Palm' 130mm Nursery Pot

Product Description

A little bit wild, a little bit sculptural.

The Madagascar Palm isn’t actually a palm, but it does bring that bold, sun-loving energy into your space. With its thick, spiny trunk and crown of lush green leaves, Pachypodium lamerei is one of those plants that instantly makes a statement.

Slow-growing in pots and surprisingly low-maintenance, it’s perfect for bright indoor spaces where it can soak up plenty of light and keep its signature shape. Given time (and the right conditions), mature plants can even reward you with beautiful frangipani-like flowers.

This one comes established in a 13cm nursery pot, ready to style into your favourite planter.

Why You’ll Love It

• Sculptural, statement plant with a unique form
• Perfect for bright indoor spaces or sunny outdoor spots
• Slow-growing and low-maintenance in pots
• Drought-tolerant and forgiving if you miss a water
• Adds a bold, architectural feel to your plant collection

Plant Care
Light: Full sun to partial shade. Indoors, place in a bright, well-lit position to maintain its shape.
Watering: Water during warmer months. Reduce significantly in winter, can go long periods without water, but performs best with occasional watering year-round.
Feeding: Feed monthly during the growing season at 25% strength. Lower fertiliser helps maintain a more compact, structured shape.
Repotting: Can be left slightly root-bound or repotted in warmer months using a free-draining mix.
