Pachypodium geayi

Madagascar-palm

Pachypodium geayi looks very similar to Pachypodium lamerei and P. rutenbergianum. Grow Madagascar-palm in full sun and any non-acidic, moderately fertile, gritty, very porous soil. Although amazingly drought tolerant, growth is lusher and flowering improves when the soil is bone dry in winter and then evenly moist in the heat of summer.
