Technical details: Botanical name: Pachypodium stenanthum Seed Quantity: 10 seeds per pack Plant type: Perennial caudiciform succulent, with a slow growing cycle that allows the caudex to develop beautifully over time. Plant height: In cultivation, it can reach 0.5 - 1 meter in height, with a basal stem (caudex) that expands considerably in width. Uses: Primarily as a collectible ornamental plant. Ideal for rock gardens in hot, arid climates, or as a splendid potted specimen for bright interiors, greenhouses, and conservatories. Tasting Notes: This species is known for its spiny, thick, gray-green stem that tapers toward the top. Its flowers, usually tubular, are white or creamy in color, often delicately scented, and typically bloom during spring and summer. The leaves are lanceolate, clustered in a rosette at the tips of the branches. Hardiness and Origin: Native to the arid regions of South Africa, this plant is exceptionally drought-resistant. It is essential to protect it from frost, as it does not tolerate low temperatures. Sowing time: The ideal time for sowing is late spring or early summer, when ambient temperatures are consistently high. Optimal germination conditions: Requires constant temperatures between 25°C and 30°C for optimal success. It is advisable to maintain high initial humidity and use an extremely well-drained substrate. Soil type: Prefers a specific substrate for cacti and succulents, characterized by excellent drainage. A mixture of all-purpose potting soil, pumice, perlite, or volcanic lapilli is ideal. The pH should be neutral or slightly acidic. Recommended exposure: Full sun or very bright partial shade. Adequate sun exposure is crucial for flowering and maintaining compact, robust growth. Germination times: Germination times can range from 7 to 30 days, but in some circumstances they can even take longer. Our guarantee of high germination is supported by fresh and carefully selected seeds. Pot or ground cultivation: It adapts beautifully to pot cultivation, where the caudex can be gradually lifted to accentuate its sculptural beauty. Open ground cultivation is recommended only in tropical or subtropical climates, completely free of frost.
