Grow an eye-catching succculent with our Pachypodium lamerei, aka 'Madagascar Palm', seeds! These rare seeds will turn into a stunning plant with a spiky trunk and shiny, lush green leaves that bring exotic flair to any space.  

Instructions:

We recommend using the following to sow the seeds: 

• 12 Cavity Greenhouse
• Soil Pellets or Soil Pods 
• Liquid Fertilizer 

Madagascar Palm is a stunning, tall succulent with a spiky trunk. Being a succulent, it loves lots of direct, bright light and doesn't require much water!

To plant the seeds, pre-soak in warm water for 12-24 hours, sow in a well-draining medium, cover with a humidity dome and keep >70F(use a heat mat if necessary). The seeds can germinate very quickly given good conditions, otherwise they usually take up to 2 weeks to germinate.
