Introducing the Madagascar palm, also known as Pachypodium lamerei. This unusual Pachypodium lamerei is sure to spark conversation with its adorable, grey-green leaves and eye-catching white flowers. Madagascar palm is actually a succulent, not a true palm, despite popular belief. 

Pachypodium, which means "thick foot," refers to the plant's thick, swollen stem, which stores water and provides structure and strength to the Madagascar Palm. There are several species, but the two most common are Pachypodium lamerei and Pachypodium geayi.   


Native to Southwest Madagascar, your Pachypodium lamerei Madagascar Palms can reach 24 feet tall and 10 feet wide at maturity and are sure to make a statement wherever they're planted.

The trumpet-shaped flowers of the Madagascar Palm Pachypodium lamerei add a touch of exotic beauty to any space from late spring to summer.

During this bloom time, you can expect to see clusters of vibrant, white, yellow, red, pink, or cream-colored flowers with a delightful fragrance.

Outdoor Madagascar palms are more likely to produce flowers than indoor ones, so use NPK fertilizer in the early spring and prune damaged branches for better blooming.

When and How to Water Your Madagascar Palm  

The Madagascar Palm is a drought-tolerant succulent, well-adapted to dry environments and capable of surviving extended periods without water. While it stores moisture in its thick trunk, this doesn’t mean it should be neglected entirely. Your Madagascar palm plant prefers watering once every 10-14 days during the active growing season, and once every 4-6 weeks during the dormant season.

From spring through early fall, during the active growing season, watering once every 10–14 days is sufficient. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Always check the top few inches of soil before watering. Consistent but sparse watering encourages healthy growth without risking oversaturation.

From late fall through winter, in the dormant season, the Madagascar Palm slows its growth and requires far less water, about once every 4–6 weeks, or only when the plant shows signs of slight shriveling. Overwatering during dormancy is one of the most common causes of decline, so it's best to err on the dry side until active growth resumes in spring.

Light Requirements - Where to Place Your Madagascar Palm

When growing your Madagascar palm, Pachypodium lamerei, indoors, it prefers bright, indirect light.

Placing it near a window where it can receive plenty of filtered sunlight is ideal. However, be cautious when placing it in direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.

If you notice the leaves turning yellow or brown, it may be a sign that the plant is receiving too much direct sunlight. Consider moving the plant to a location with more shade to prevent further damage.

If you're growing your Madagascar palm outdoors, it is important to grow Pachypodium species in areas that receive at least 4-6 hours of bright, direct light every day to keep them happy. New plants can get burned in the full sun as they were probably grown in a greenhouse; therefore, gradually increase their exposure to sunlight.

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The Madagascar Palm favors very airy, sandy soil that drains well, and should be fertilized once a year in spring. Planting them in ordinary soil will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and most likely root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally use our specialized potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your palm plant to thrive.

A small amount of organic fertilizer once a year in the spring will do wonders for your plant's health and growth. Using organic fertilizers with an approximate blend of 5-10-5 (NPK) that is higher in phosphorus than nitrogen also ensures that other beneficial compounds and microbes are added to the soil without the use of harsh chemicals. Show your Madagascar palm some love with awesome natural fertilizer and watch it thrive.

Indoor Growing Madagascar Palm Requirements

If growing indoors, this Pachypodium lamerei prefers a warm environment, ideally between 65°F and 80°F. While it can tolerate brief dips in temperature, it's best to avoid cold drafts, sudden temperature changes, or temperatures below 50°F, which may cause leaf drop or dormancy. Place it near a bright, sunny window, preferably south- or west-facing, to ensure it receives at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. If natural light is limited, supplement with a grow light to maintain its health and compact form.

This plant enjoys moderate humidity, but it is adaptable to average indoor conditions. If your indoor air is especially dry (below 30% humidity), consider using a humidity tray or room humidifier, particularly during winter months when indoor heating reduces moisture in the air.

Hardiness Zone & More 

In the United States, this is mostly an indoor plant, but if you live in southern Florida or Hawaii, then you can cultivate it outdoors in USDA zones 9-11.

These zones generally experience mild winters with temperatures ranging from 30°F to 40°F and above. However, if you live in a region with colder temperatures, you can still enjoy this plant by growing it in a container and bringing it indoors during the winter months.

Madagascar palms are hardy plants that can tolerate a wide range of temperatures and humidity levels. Native to the arid regions of Madagascar, in their natural habitat, they are well-suited to dry, desert-like conditions.

Wildlife - Madagascar Palm Attracts the Following Friendly Pollinators

The Pachypodium lamerei attracts a variety of friendly pollinators, such as butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, which are drawn to the plant's vibrant flowers and sweet nectar. The presence of these pollinators helps to ensure the continued reproduction and survival of the Madagascar Palm in its natural habitat.

According to ASPCA, the Madagascar Palm Plant is mildly toxic to both humans and pets if ingested in large amounts. It contains toxic components, specifically calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation and swelling upon ingestion or contact.

How to Propagate the Pachypodium lamerei Madagascar Palm 

To propagate the Madagascar palm Pachypodium lamerei, one common method is by stem cuttings. You can take a stem cutting from a healthy, mature plant, let it dry for a few days to form a callus, and then plant it in well-draining soil. 

Another method is propagation by seeds. You can collect the seeds from a mature Madagascar palm and sow them in a suitable potting mix. Keep the soil slightly moist and provide warmth and a bright, indirect, sunny spot for germination. Both methods require some patience and care, but with a little bit of love, you can successfully propagate your own Madagascar palms.

Very Happy with My New Printer - Features Important to You are Worth the Cost
My HP Photosmart 7520 purchased in Dec 2014 finally died. It was inexpensive, but was a faithful servant! I could not resolve a new "printhead not detected" error and although I may still be able to fix, I thought it time to replace. I grew tired of the print cartridge change outs. I just spent a day using this new (my third HP) printer and all is well. I like everything about it. Ease of set up, the paper tray, document feeder, the look/design, and especially the ink. The ink will last a long time given my use and replacements will not be $$. I even like the panel light which duration can be user selected. I could have spent less, but the additional features are worth the cost to me. The set up via my MacBook was easy. Yes, I could have done this with my phone, but I enjoy using my Mac. Registration was seamless. I did have a hiccup. Initially color printing was not available from my Mac OS. HP test pages were fine, but no color via any apps using my Mac OS. I Googled the issue and within 2 minutes I found that a reinstall of the Mac driver from the HP site was needed. That took another 2 minutes and color options appeared in the print settings! Strange, I know, and I don't care why ... just glad that a fix was that easy. So, I examined Canon, Brother, and all the HP models, chose this one and glad I did. I have been messing with this tech since the late '80s and I like how HP has evolved its printers. My laser printer experience was limited to the workplace ... I am an inkjet guy at home so I limited my search to that format. I don't think you will be disappointed. Purchased via Amazon. Delivery within 2 days.

good and bad
Good: The ink tank concept is brilliant. It was insanely easy and mess-free to install the print heads and fill the ink tanks. The control panel is elegant and nicely integrated into the printer. The whole thing was relatively easy to set up. The print quality was fine. Bad: The first printer I received was covered in ink because apparently the black ink exploded in transit. The replacement printer came barely in time. I tried to print Microsoft Word labels from the HP app, and wasted a lot of labels because it refused to format correctly. Then I had trouble printing in color from Microsoft (but at least the formatting matched the labels). After an update, I was able to print labels in color, BUT had to do one sheet at a time because they kept jamming (set at specialty paper glossy since they were glossy labels) -- again wasted a lot of labels. AND it took FOREVER to print one sheet of labels in color, even when there was barely any color. After it jammed, the color on the labels changed and took several sheets to return to the original colors. I donʻt know yet if the print heads were actually damaged, but it seemed to recover eventually If you want to print a lot of labels in color in a reasonable amount of time without having to feed one sheet at a time, this is not the printer for you. If you mostly print black & white on regular paper, and only occasionally need color, then maybe it will work for you. I havenʻt tried scanning. Again, the ink tank concept is a game changer, but this printer is far from perfect.

Impressive multi-functional home printer, A++ touch screen
Note: I've used this printer for almost a month so far. I was very impressed with the unboxing experience of this HP Smart Tank 7600 printer. I had no trouble lifting the printer out of the box, because they actually put it inside a plastic bag with nice handles! It was easy peasy. Everything was nicely labeled and I followed the instructions from the HP Smart app (both on PC and phone) and went through step by step to set up the printer. HP really knocked the basic setup part out of the park with this one. It's the best instructions I have ever seen. It was super easy filling the ink tanks with the bottles. I was expecting some leakage and had paper towels ready but nope, not a single drop leaked from it during filling! It takes less than 30 seconds for each bottle to finish filling the printer. Impressive. Setting up WiFi was easy and it immediately updated the printer with the latest firmware. This part did take 5-10 minutes but once it was done, I was able to print immediately. My favorite feature is the matte surface touch screen. It is bright, responsive, and very intuitive to use. Advanced Features: Since this printer had a lot of advanced features, I tried them out. First, I set up the scan to email feature. This took a while to figure out, with the assistance of online help, I was able to configure Gmail's SMTP server to send out printer scans to other emails. This was complicated to use another SMTP server but not the fault of HP. Next, I set up the device to scan to my NAS drive. I had a slight hiccup because I had to fix my NAS account to allow write permission before it started working. Lastly, I discovered it to be faster to enter email contacts through the HP Smart app address book instead of trying to enter them via the printer's touch screen. The printer itself prints very fast in both color and black and white. While it doesn't quite match the print quality of color laser printers, it's still very impressive for an ink jet printer. Just the fact that the large amount of ink in the tanks versus traditional cartridges or toners will be huge savings for me. The scanning features will make this a lot more useful so I don't need to get another separate scanner. Overall, I really like this printer and it will be my primary family printer from now on.
