Description:

The name of the species has a double reference: on one hand, it derives from its origin point in the southern part of Madagascar, on the other hand in Latin it literally means "noon", probably referring to the characteristic of its small and graceful yellow flowers that bloom in that part of the day. It looks like a shrub that in the wild reaches up to 2 meters in height, while in cultivation it remains much smaller but still takes on a wonderful shrub appearance, a real bonsai characterized by a caudiciform stem, slightly swollen at the base and with a woody appearance, which tends to branch out abundantly. During the growing season, peculiar pinnate leaves develop which do not exceed 3 cm and make Senna meridionalis even more ornamental, perfect for giving an extra touch of style to any setting.

Plant care:

It particularly loves sunny places, but better if sheltered from wind.

It prefers high or mild temperatures, however for short periods it can bear even very low temperatures. It is advisable, in winter, to place it under cover.

It requires a significant water supply during the growing season, always making sure that the soil is dry between one watering and the next. During the vegetative rest it is advisable to suspend watering.

A well-draining substrate is optimal, consisting of specific soil for cacti with abundant addition of sand, pumice or lapillus.

It does not require frequent fertilization, it will be sufficient to dilute fertilizer with water from irrigation once a year.
