Discover 10 items to enrich your Pachypodium collectionPachypodium geayi is a stunning succulent with a smooth, bottle-shaped trunk covered in spines. The trunk is topped with long, slender, dark green leaves. The foliage features a striking midrib. Pachypodium geayi grows slightly slower than Pachypodium lamerei. Pachypodium is originally native to southern Madagascar, where it grows in arid-tropical regions. It tolerates a wide range of climatic conditions and is highly resistant to pests and diseases. In its natural environment, Pachypodium can reach great heights. As a houseplant, P. geayi remains smaller, but it can still grow spectacularly over time. Pachypodium stores water in its trunk, making it a very drought-resistant plant. Pachypodium geayi is also known as Madagascar Palm.
