Technical details:
Botanical name: Pachypodium mikea
Seed quantity: 10 seeds, carefully selected for purity and vigor.
Plant type: Perennial caudiciform succulent, which develops a robust and characteristic trunk.
Crop cycle: Slow but constant growth, with a winter dormant period during which it may lose its leaves, resuming activity in spring.
Plant height: When grown in a pot, it can reach 30-60 cm with a significant caudex; in the wild, it can exceed one metre in height.
Uses: A highly prized ornamental plant, ideal for collectors, for creating rock gardens in mild climates, or as a splendid exotic houseplant.
Organoleptic characteristics: White or cream-colored, star-shaped, slightly scented flowers appear in spring; lanceolate green leaves appear throughout the growing season; silvery-gray, often spiny caudex thickens with age.
Hardiness and Origin: Native to the arid, rocky regions of Madagascar, this species is extremely drought-tolerant. It requires protection from frost and temperatures below 10°C.
Sowing period: Sowing is recommended in spring or early summer, when ambient temperatures are stably warm, favoring an optimal germination process.
Optimal germination conditions: Requires a constant temperature between 25-35°C, preferably with the aid of a heating mat. The substrate should be kept constantly moist but not soggy.
Soil type: It requires an extremely draining substrate, specific for cacti and succulents, composed of a mixture of inert materials such as pumice, volcanic lapilli, perlite and a minimal amount of organic soil.
Recommended exposure: After germination, seedlings require plenty of light, preferably full, filtered sun or direct sunlight for at least 6-8 hours a day. Avoid direct sunlight in the very early stages.
Germination times: Variable, generally from 1 to 4 weeks, but can extend up to several months, requiring patience and consistency.
Pot or ground cultivation: Ideal for growing in pots, which allows the plant to be moved to sheltered locations during the winter. It can only be grown in open ground in tropical or subtropical climates, free from frost.
Quality Specifications: Our non-GMO seeds are selected and tested to ensure high germination, ensuring the best starting point for your exotic plant cultivation.
