Pachypodium bispinosum
Caudiciform
Description
Pachypodium bispinosum is a succulent caudiciform plant native to South Africa, known for its unique and architectural form. The plant features a thick, swollen base, or caudex, which stores water, and is covered in sharp spines. From the caudex emerge slender branches with fleshy, green leaves. It thrives in well-draining soil and requires very little water, especially during its dormant period. This plant is a slow grower and will be a good addition to any collection. The plant produces attractive, trumpet-shaped flowers during the flowering season.
