  • 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 mix is 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 Succulents
    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 right away and follow the care instructions included with your order. Succulents prefer to dry out between waterings, so only water when the soil is completely dry.
    Succulents are resilient plants and typically recover quickly once they settle into their new environment. Give them a few days to adjust before placing them in direct sunlight, and avoid fertilizing right away.
