Description

Pachypodium succulentum is a slow-growing caudiciform succulent shrublet with a large half-submerged tuberous base bearing several slender branches more or less armed below the leaves with with slender acute stipular spines. The flowers which appears with the leaves are crimson, pink, or (rarely) white, with a darker midstripe. The plant can grow up to 60-200 cm of height.

It produces white to crimson, star-shaped flowers at the tips of the branches in spring and early summer. The flowers have a long, nearly cylindrical tube, 10–80 mm long and up to 2 mm in diameter, opening to 5 spreading lobes, 8–18 mm long, the middle of each petal marked with a darker stripe.

Environment

Pachypodiums require good amount of sunlight . Unlike other succulents, it needs lot of water in summers. The Cactus need regularly water to replenish its moisture reserves in the rest period.

Landscape Uses

Use this tall, architecturally striking succulent in a rock garden among cactus and other frost-tender succulents. Its compact size and striking appearance make it a focal point in any setting.

Most succulents need to be watered twice a week during summers and only once in monsoon & winters. Varieties like Haworthias, Crassulas and Gasterias are well suited for low-light indoors and window-sills. If the leaves get too bulky, it is a sign of overwatering & if the leaves look shrivelled it is a sign of less watering.

As a general rule of thumb, all the ones with colourful leaves like Echeverias, Sedeveria and Graptopetalum like bright sunlight and semi shade in extreme summers. They cannot be kept indoors or in full shade. All succulents love morning sun.

You can fertilise your succulent once a month.

Watering tips : Make sure NOT to water on the plant itself. Water directly in the soil. You can use a cup or a glass to make sure the water does not spray on leaves. When watering, make sure water comes out of the drainage hole.
