The Pachypodium rutenbergianum ‘Madagascar Palm’ thrives in full sun. It requires abundant sunlight to support its growth and maintain its health. Position the plant in an area where it receives direct sunlight for most of the day.

Temperature:

Pachypodiums can endure very high temperatures in their habitats during the summer, like in Madagascar and South Africa. However, the minimum temperature is crucial for their growth, as it triggers their rest period.

Watering:

During the active growth phase, Pachypodiums need generous watering to store enough water rapidly. Since their natural environment often has short rainy seasons, they must quickly replenish their water reserves. For beginners, finding the proper watering schedule can be challenging. Unlike cacti, Pachypodiums shouldn’t be too dry during active growth. A helpful tip is to ensure the soil isn’t completely dry during this period.

Soil and Fertiliser:

Pachypodium rutenbergianum thrives in dry, well-drained, sandy soil. This variety will benefit from an application of an All Purpose, Slow-Release fertiliser every 9-12 months.
