Technical details: Botanical name: Pachypodium brevicaule Seed quantity: 10 seeds Plant type and cultivation cycle: Perennial caudiciform succulent, slow growing and compact. Plant height: The caudex can reach 10-20 cm in diameter and a few centimetres in height, with short branches. Uses: Ideal as a collectible ornamental plant, perfect for rock gardens in warm climates, specialized terrariums, or as a houseplant for bright interiors, thanks to its sculptural appearance. Tasting Notes: Characterized by a globular, flattened caudex, which often grows almost underground in its natural habitat. It has short, spiny branches and small, lanceolate leaves, deciduous during dormancy. The intense, bright yellow flowers bloom directly from the caudex in spring/summer, offering a breathtaking visual contrast. Hardiness and Origin: Native to Madagascar, it is a species adapted to arid climates. It does not tolerate temperatures close to freezing or frost. Sowing period: We recommend sowing in spring (March-May) or early summer to make the most of the heat and light conditions. Optimal conditions for germination: Requires a constant temperature between 25 and 30°C, high humidity, and indirect but bright light. A heated propagator can be very helpful. Soil type: Requires an extremely well-draining substrate, specifically for succulents and cacti, with a high percentage of inert materials such as pumice, volcanic lapilli, perlite, or coarse sand. The pH should be neutral or slightly acidic. Recommended exposure: Prefers full sun or bright partial shade. In regions with very hot summers, it is best to protect it from direct sunlight during the hottest hours. Germination times: Germination times can vary, generally from 1 week to 2 months, but sometimes even longer. Patience is essential for success. Pot or ground cultivation: Mainly grown in pots, especially in temperate climates where winter shelter is required. It can be planted outdoors only in tropical or subtropical climates without risk of frost. Ideal for indoor cultivation.
