Technical details:
Botanical name: Pachypodium eburneum
Seed Quantity: 10 seeds per pack, carefully selected and packaged.
Plant Type and Cultivation Cycle: A caudiciform, perennial succulent plant characterized by slow growth but a remarkably long lifespan. It develops a sturdy, thickened stem (caudex) at the base, used for water storage.
Plant height: In cultivation, the caudex can reach a diameter of 15-30 cm and the entire plant a height of 30-60 cm, making it ideal even for limited spaces or as a potted specimen.
Uses: Primarily ornamental. Perfect for succulent collections, dry gardens, designer potted arrangements, or as a standalone specimen in bright interiors, thanks to its sculptural appearance.
Tasting Notes: The flowers, generally pure white or cream in color, appear in summer and are often delicately scented. The leaves are lanceolate and typically deciduous during periods of rest or drought. The caudex is spiny and light in color, hence the name "eburneum" (ivory), giving it a very distinctive appearance.
Hardiness and Origin: Native to Madagascar. Extremely drought-resistant once established. Does not tolerate temperatures near freezing or frost, requiring protection in temperate climates.
Sowing period: Ideal in late spring or early summer, when ambient temperatures are consistently above 20°C, preferably between 25°C and 30°C to optimize germination.
Optimal germination conditions: Requires a warm, humid environment. We recommend using a heated propagator or placing the containers in a location with a constant temperature between 25°C and 35°C. The substrate should be slightly moist but never soaked.
Soil type: Specific substrate for succulents and cacti, highly draining, with a good percentage of aggregates (pumice, perlite, lapilli, coarse sand). A neutral or slightly acidic pH is preferable.
Recommended exposure: Full sun or very bright partial shade for most of the day. Ample direct light is essential for healthy growth and, in mature specimens, abundant flowering.
Germination time: Germination can take 1 to 4 weeks, but under optimal conditions, some seeds may germinate more quickly. Patience is a virtue with this fascinating species!
Pot or ground cultivation: Pot cultivation is recommended to allow for winter shelter in temperate climates. Open ground cultivation is recommended only in tropical or subtropical areas where there is no risk of frost.
Quality Specifications: Non-GMO seeds, selected to ensure the authenticity and desired characteristics of the species. Guaranteed high germination rates, to maximize the success of your grow.
