Technical and agronomic details:
Botanical name: Pachypodium rosulatum subsp. gracilius
Seed quantity: 10 carefully selected seeds per pack
Plant type and cultivation cycle: Perennial, caudiciform succulent, deciduous during the dormant period (dry season). Its growth is slow but extremely long-lived, forming a distinctive caudex over time.
Plant height: The caudex (swollen trunk) can reach 30-60 cm in diameter. The overall height of the plant, including branches, can range from 30 cm to 1 m in mature, well-developed specimens.
Uses: An excellent ornamental collectible, ideal for creating bonsai-style arrangements, exotic rock gardens, or as a focal point in bright interiors. Perfect for lovers of rare succulents.
Tasting Notes: Characterized by deep green, lanceolate leaves (deciduous), which emerge from the caudex branches. The bright yellow, funnel-shaped flowers typically bloom in spring-summer, adding a striking visual impact. The caudex is its most distinctive feature, with smooth, silvery-gray bark. This species is not intended for culinary or aromatic uses.
Hardiness and Origin: Native to Madagascar, it is a plant adapted to arid climates and tolerates periods of drought well. It is sensitive to frost and requires minimum temperatures above 10-15°C to thrive.
Sowing time: The ideal time for sowing is late spring or early summer, when ambient temperatures are consistently warm (between 25°C and 30°C).
Optimal germination conditions: Requires high humidity (cover with plastic wrap or a dome), constant temperatures between 25°C and 30°C, and indirect light. A sterilized, well-draining substrate is essential for success.
Soil type: Specific substrate for cacti and succulents, extremely well-draining. An ideal mix includes pumice, lapilli, coarse sand, and a small amount of organic soil. The pH should be neutral or slightly acidic.
Recommended exposure: Prefers full sun or very bright partial shade. During the early stages of germination and seedling growth, filtered light is recommended to prevent sunburn.
Germination times: Germination times can vary from 1 to 4 weeks, and in some cases even longer. The "high germination" of our seeds significantly increases the chances of success.
Pot or ground cultivation: Pot cultivation is primarily recommended, especially in temperate climates, to protect it from the cold and improve drainage. Open ground cultivation is only possible in tropical or subtropical climates without risk of frost.
Quality Specifications: Our seeds are Non-GMO (not genetically modified), carefully selected for their varietal purity and guaranteed high germination, offering the best conditions for your cultivation.
