Description:

The name of this Pachypodium derives from the Namaqua ethnic group. It is a solitary, slow-growing succulent plant that can branch out at the base over time. It has a cylindrical stem of a considerable size: up to 25 cm in diameter and 2.5-3 m in height! Like most plants of arid and rocky areas, P. namaquanum is also covered with long spines that protect it from animals and the intense sun. At the apex of the stem a rosette of fleshy, ovate and wavy leaves of a greyish-green color is formed. During the flowering period (August-September) it blooms with beautiful tubular flowers, which are red inside and yellow-green outside.

Plant care:

It likes an exposure to full sun in rather airy locations.

It is preferable to keep it at mild temperatures and never below 12 °C, for this reason it is recommended to place it in sheltered and ventilated locations during the winter period.

Water moderately but only when the soil is completely dry. Once a week in spring and summer and once a month during autumn and winter.

A well-draining and porous soil is an optimal solution, even better if further enriched with inert materials such as pumice or lapilli.

They do not need frequent fertilization, it is sufficient to dilute the fertilizer with watering once a year.
