🌵🌴 Madagascar Palm – Exotic Spiky Succulent Tree
🪴 Product Description:
The Madagascar Palm (Pachypodium lamerei) is a unique and eye-catching plant that looks like a mix between a palm and a cactus, though it is technically a succulent. Native to Madagascar, this dramatic plant features a thick, spiny trunk that stores water, and a tuft of long, slender green leaves at the top, giving it a striking palm-like appearance.
Perfect as a standout indoor plant or for outdoor desert-style landscaping, the Madagascar Palm is both low-maintenance and highly drought-tolerant. Its bold silhouette adds architectural interest to any space.
