Botanical Name: Pachypodium succulentum
Seed Quantity: 10 seeds per pack.
Plant type and cultivation cycle: Perennial semi-deciduous succulent, caudiciform plant.
Plant height: Up to 60 cm over time, but often more compact in pots. The caudex can reach 15-20 cm in diameter.
Uses: Indoor or outdoor ornamental plant in mild climates, collectible, for rock gardens or xerophytic gardens.
Tasting Notes: Characterized by a robust, partially buried caudex that serves as a water reserve, and thin, thorny stems emerging from the upper part. The flowers are funnel-shaped, pink-purple in color with a lighter throat, typically blooming in spring/summer. The leaves are small, lanceolate, and appear on the new stems.
Hardiness and Origin: Native to South Africa. Extremely drought and heat resistant, but does not tolerate severe frost.
Sowing period: Preferably in spring or early summer, when temperatures are stable and warm to promote good germination.
Optimal conditions for germination: Constant temperature between 20°C and 30°C. High initial humidity is recommended (cover with plastic wrap or use a mini-greenhouse). Place in a location with indirect light.
Soil type: Requires an extremely well-draining substrate, specifically for succulents and cacti, consisting of quality all-purpose potting soil, coarse sand, and perlite or pumice. The pH should be neutral or slightly acidic.
Recommended exposure: Full sun or bright partial shade. Protect from direct sunlight, which is at its strongest during the midsummer hours, to avoid sunburn.
Germination times: Germination times vary, generally from 1 to 4 weeks, but in some cases they can take longer. Patience is key.
Pot or ground cultivation: Ideal for growing in pots, especially in non-Mediterranean climates, to provide shelter during the cold months. It can also be grown in the ground in areas with mild winters and well-drained soil.
Quality Specifications: These seeds are guaranteed Non-GMO (Not Genetically Modified), come from a variety selected for its purity and vigor, and offer high germination to maximize the success of your grow.
