Pachypodium 'lamerei' (Madagascar Palm)
The Madagascar Palm is a striking succulent with a thick, swollen stem that stores water and supports a crown of leaves. Native to Madagascar, its spiny exterior helps protect it from curious pets, making it a tough and eye-catching addition to any indoor plant collection. This unique houseplant grows upward steadily, shedding old leaves as new ones emerge at the top.

really great plant love it
Everything was great until I discovered spider mites. At first, I thought the leaf drop was just stress from the move, but then I noticed tiny holes on the leaves. I had to discard the plant and disinfect my other houseplants. That said, these things happen. It felt like a bit of a natural disaster. Customer service was quick, understanding, and issued a refund right away.
