Pachypodium namaquanum is a rare succulent plant. It is an usually single-stemmed, growing extremely slowly with stem up to 10 inches (25 cm) in diameter and up to 8.2 feet (2.5 m) tall.
The stems are cylindrical, mostly unbranched, covered with warty tubercles from which sharp spines protrude in a slightly downward direction.
The leaves form a crowded rosette at the apex of the trunk. They are simple, obovate to oblong, green-grey and densely velvety on both surfaces.
The flowers are tubular, red on the inside and yellow-green outside, up to 2 inches (5 cm) long and up to 0.4 inch (1 cm) across at the mouth. The fruits are horn-like with twin pencil-thin tapering capsules of up to 2 inches (5 cm) long.
Plants may be shipped bare root.
Elephants Trunks thrive in bright light but not harsh direct sun, which can scorch their leaves. Place your plant near a window with sheer curtains or filtering through nearby trees.
Water deeply, then let the soil dry completely before watering again.
Well-draining succulent or cactus mixis essential to prevent root rot. You can also add some perlite or sand to your potting mix for extra drainage.
Warm temperatures are ideal, between 65-80°F (18-27°C). They can tolerate cooler temperatures down to 50°F (10°C) but will go dormant and stop growing.
Fertilize sparingly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a diluted fertilizer for cacti and succulents. Do not fertilize at all during the winter dormancy period.

For each plant, you can receive a gift card.
The more plants you order, the more you can claim, up to a maximum of $50 gift card per order.
One-time claim per order.
For subscriptions, you can claim once per subscription.
Provide porous soil with adequate drainage, pots with drainage hole are recommended. Bright, filtered
light and ample airflow. Water thoroughly when soil is dry to the touch. Never let your succulents sit in water. Do
NOT water on the leaves. If you water from beneath by letting the plant sit in a saucer of water, make sure to pour
off any excess water after a few minutes.
The hotter it is outside, the faster your soil will dry out, so you’ll need to water more often if you live in a hot
area. Water with caution in winter, as the plant can lose its roots if the soil stays cold and wet for extended
periods; protect from frost to prevent scarring.
