Technical details: Botanical name: Pachypodium rosulatum subsp. makayense. It belongs to the Apocynaceae family and is one of the most popular subspecies of the Pachypodium genus. Seed quantity: 10 seeds. This is the ideal quantity to start a successful crop, given the high germination rate of our batches. Plant Type and Cultivation Cycle: Slow-growing, perennial succulent with a caudex. It is a deciduous plant that responds to periods of drought or low temperatures by entering a state of dormancy. Plant height: In its natural habitat, caudex can reach 50-80 cm in diameter, with an overall height exceeding one meter. In cultivation, it generally remains smaller, making it suitable even for limited spaces. Uses: Primarily as an exotic ornamental collectible. Perfect for rock gardens in warm climates, special terrariums, or as an elegant single potted specimen for bright interiors or greenhouses. Aesthetic and morphological aspects: The most distinctive feature is its spherical or ovoid, gray-brown caudex, which stores water. The glossy, lanceolate leaves are clustered at the tips of thorny branches. Flowering is exceptional, with bright yellow, funnel-shaped flowers emerging from the upper branches, typically during the spring and summer months. Hardiness and Origin: Native to the rocky, dry regions of Madagascar, the plant is extremely drought-tolerant. It cannot tolerate temperatures below 5-10°C and must be protected from frost. Sowing season: Sowing is recommended in spring or early summer, when ambient temperatures remain constant and high (ideally 25-30°C). This promotes rapid and effective germination. Optimal conditions for germination: Requires a warm, humid, but not saturated environment. A heating mat is recommended to maintain a constant temperature and a terrarium lid or cling film for humidity. Soil type: An extremely well-draining substrate, specifically designed for cacti and succulents, is essential. A mixture of at least 70-80% aggregates (pumice, lapilli, fine gravel, perlite) and a small amount of organic matter (peat or potting soil) ensures proper drainage and prevents waterlogging. Neutral or slightly acidic pH. Recommended exposure: Full sunlight is preferable, especially to promote compact caudex growth and abundant flowering. During the hottest hours of intense summers, light afternoon shade can prevent sunburn. Germination time: Pachypodium makayense seeds can germinate in one week to three months, sometimes longer, depending on environmental conditions and seed freshness. Patience is a virtue when growing caudex. Pot or ground cultivation: Given its sensitivity to cold, pot cultivation is highly recommended in temperate climates, allowing for winter shelter. Open ground cultivation is only possible in tropical or subtropical climates where frost is not expected.
