Technical and agronomic details: Botanical name: Pachypodium decaryi (Poiss.) H.Perrier Seed Quantity: 10 seeds per pack Plant Type and Cultivation Cycle: Deciduous, caudiciform succulent. It is a slow-growing perennial species that develops a robust, branched caudex over time. Plant height: In the wild it can reach 2-3 metres, while in pot cultivation it usually remains between 30 and 60 cm, with a proportionate caudex that can become very wide. Uses: A collectible ornamental plant, ideal for rock gardens in suitable climates, succulent tanks, or as a splendid indoor or greenhouse specimen in temperate climates. Morphological characteristics: The caudex is massive, silvery-gray in color, often with ascending branches and prominent spines. The leaves are lanceolate, glossy green, and fall during the dormant period (dry season). The flowers are large, funnel-shaped, pure white, and appear at the tips of the branches in spring/early summer. Hardiness and Origin: Endemic to Madagascar. It requires warm, dry climates and cannot tolerate temperatures below 10°C or frost. It is highly drought-resistant. Sowing period: Sowing is recommended in spring or early summer, when ambient temperatures are consistently high (ideally above 25°C). Optimal conditions for germination: It requires constant temperatures between 25-35°C, high environmental humidity (cover with a dome or transparent film) and a constantly moist but never soaked, extremely draining substrate. Soil type: Prefers a highly draining, succulent and cactus-specific substrate. An ideal mix might include pumice, volcanic lapilli, coarse sand, and a small amount of well-sieved peat moss or general-purpose soil. The pH should be slightly acidic or neutral. Recommended exposure: Full sun or very bright partial shade. Requires excellent lighting for healthy growth and abundant flowering. Germination times: Variable, generally 1 to 4 weeks, but germination can be erratic and require patience. Pot or ground cultivation: Perfectly suited to pot cultivation, especially in regions with cold winters, where it can be sheltered.
