🌿 For Houseplants
When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
Please remove your plants from their packaging as soon as possible and review the care instructions included with your order. Water based on your plant’s needs, making sure not to overwater.
Houseplants may need a short adjustment period after arrival. Give your plant time to acclimate to its new space before placing it with other plants. You can gently clean the leaves if needed, and wait to fertilize until it has settled in. Always check soil moisture instead of watering on a fixed schedule.
*** We pack carefully to protect each plant during transit, so larger orders may arrive in multiple packages.

The Madagascar Palm (Pachypodium lamerei) is a highly distinctive succulent plant known for its striking, palm-like appearance. Despite its common name, it is not a true palm but belongs to the Dogbane family (Apocynaceae). It is a pachycaul (thick-trunked) stem succulent, meaning its swollen, spiny trunk serves as its main water storage organ.
This exotic plant is native to the dry xerophytic forests of southern and southwestern Madagascar, an island off the southeast coast of Africa.
Its most notable feature is its tall, silvery-gray, thick trunk that is densely covered with sharp, triple-grouped spines. This cigar-shaped, succulent stem is topped with a rosette of long, narrow, glossy green leaves, giving it a unique, tropical palm-tree silhouette. The plant may shed its leaves in winter or during prolonged dry periods (semi-deciduous).
Full Sun. This plant craves sunlight. Provide at least 6 hours of direct sun daily
Low Water Needs. Water deeply when the soil is completely dry during the active growing season (spring and summer). Reduce watering significantly, or withhold it entirely, during its winter dormancy, especially if the leaves drop. Overwatering is the biggest threat.
Very Well-Draining Succulent Mix.
Prefers warm temperatures between 65°F and 85°F (18°C - 29°C). It is not frost-hardy and should be protected from temperatures below 40°F (4°C), which can cause cold damage and leaf drop.
USDA Zone 9-11
