Introducing the Madagascar palm, also known as Pachypodium lamerei. This unusual Pachypodium lamerei is sure to spark conversation with its adorable, grey-green leaves and eye-catching white flowers. Madagascar palm is actually a succulent, not a true palm, despite popular belief. 

Pachypodium, which means "thick foot," refers to the plant's thick, swollen stem, which stores water and provides structure and strength to the Madagascar Palm. There are several species, but the two most common are Pachypodium lamerei and Pachypodium geayi.   


Native to Southwest Madagascar, your Pachypodium lamerei Madagascar Palms can reach 24 feet tall and 10 feet wide at maturity and are sure to make a statement wherever they're planted.

The trumpet-shaped flowers of the Madagascar Palm Pachypodium lamerei add a touch of exotic beauty to any space from late spring to summer.

During this bloom time, you can expect to see clusters of vibrant, white, yellow, red, pink, or cream-colored flowers with a delightful fragrance.

Outdoor Madagascar palms are more likely to produce flowers than indoor ones, so use NPK fertilizer in the early spring and prune damaged branches for better blooming.

When and How to Water Your Madagascar Palm  

The Madagascar Palm is a drought-tolerant succulent, well-adapted to dry environments and capable of surviving extended periods without water. While it stores moisture in its thick trunk, this doesn’t mean it should be neglected entirely. Your Madagascar palm plant prefers watering once every 10-14 days during the active growing season, and once every 4-6 weeks during the dormant season.

From spring through early fall, during the active growing season, watering once every 10–14 days is sufficient. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Always check the top few inches of soil before watering. Consistent but sparse watering encourages healthy growth without risking oversaturation.

From late fall through winter, in the dormant season, the Madagascar Palm slows its growth and requires far less water, about once every 4–6 weeks, or only when the plant shows signs of slight shriveling. Overwatering during dormancy is one of the most common causes of decline, so it's best to err on the dry side until active growth resumes in spring.

Light Requirements - Where to Place Your Madagascar Palm

When growing your Madagascar palm, Pachypodium lamerei, indoors, it prefers bright, indirect light.

Placing it near a window where it can receive plenty of filtered sunlight is ideal. However, be cautious when placing it in direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.

If you notice the leaves turning yellow or brown, it may be a sign that the plant is receiving too much direct sunlight. Consider moving the plant to a location with more shade to prevent further damage.

If you're growing your Madagascar palm outdoors, it is important to grow Pachypodium species in areas that receive at least 4-6 hours of bright, direct light every day to keep them happy. New plants can get burned in the full sun as they were probably grown in a greenhouse; therefore, gradually increase their exposure to sunlight.

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs 

The Madagascar Palm favors very airy, sandy soil that drains well, and should be fertilized once a year in spring. Planting them in ordinary soil will result in compacted roots, stunted growth, and most likely root rot. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally use our specialized potting mix that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your palm plant to thrive.

A small amount of organic fertilizer once a year in the spring will do wonders for your plant's health and growth. Using organic fertilizers with an approximate blend of 5-10-5 (NPK) that is higher in phosphorus than nitrogen also ensures that other beneficial compounds and microbes are added to the soil without the use of harsh chemicals. Show your Madagascar palm some love with awesome natural fertilizer and watch it thrive.

Indoor Growing Madagascar Palm Requirements

If growing indoors, this Pachypodium lamerei prefers a warm environment, ideally between 65°F and 80°F. While it can tolerate brief dips in temperature, it's best to avoid cold drafts, sudden temperature changes, or temperatures below 50°F, which may cause leaf drop or dormancy. Place it near a bright, sunny window, preferably south- or west-facing, to ensure it receives at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. If natural light is limited, supplement with a grow light to maintain its health and compact form.

This plant enjoys moderate humidity, but it is adaptable to average indoor conditions. If your indoor air is especially dry (below 30% humidity), consider using a humidity tray or room humidifier, particularly during winter months when indoor heating reduces moisture in the air.

Hardiness Zone & More 

In the United States, this is mostly an indoor plant, but if you live in southern Florida or Hawaii, then you can cultivate it outdoors in USDA zones 9-11.

These zones generally experience mild winters with temperatures ranging from 30°F to 40°F and above. However, if you live in a region with colder temperatures, you can still enjoy this plant by growing it in a container and bringing it indoors during the winter months.

Madagascar palms are hardy plants that can tolerate a wide range of temperatures and humidity levels. Native to the arid regions of Madagascar, in their natural habitat, they are well-suited to dry, desert-like conditions.

Wildlife - Madagascar Palm Attracts the Following Friendly Pollinators

The Pachypodium lamerei attracts a variety of friendly pollinators, such as butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds, which are drawn to the plant's vibrant flowers and sweet nectar. The presence of these pollinators helps to ensure the continued reproduction and survival of the Madagascar Palm in its natural habitat.

According to ASPCA, the Madagascar Palm Plant is mildly toxic to both humans and pets if ingested in large amounts. It contains toxic components, specifically calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause irritation and swelling upon ingestion or contact.

How to Propagate the Pachypodium lamerei Madagascar Palm 

To propagate the Madagascar palm Pachypodium lamerei, one common method is by stem cuttings. You can take a stem cutting from a healthy, mature plant, let it dry for a few days to form a callus, and then plant it in well-draining soil. 

Another method is propagation by seeds. You can collect the seeds from a mature Madagascar palm and sow them in a suitable potting mix. Keep the soil slightly moist and provide warmth and a bright, indirect, sunny spot for germination. Both methods require some patience and care, but with a little bit of love, you can successfully propagate your own Madagascar palms.

You want this one, for power and quality and saving on AA battery costs
Color: Black
Yes. You want this one, for power and quality and saving on AA battery costs — buy it now. Don’t waste any more time comparing products. After hours, days, weeks, of researching and comparing, I ordered this one. I do not regret it. It is powerful. It was less than $25 when I bought it. It has a USB charger port and it feels solid in your hand. It has a turn-knob at the top to control the variable speed immersion blender aka milk frother aka wand frother. Charge battery fully for 2hrs before first use and then you’re all set. It works very well. It functioned as expected and then even better. Yes. It exceeded expectations. I hope it lasts a long time. It feels like it is very well made and high quality. Classiest and best wand frother I have ever owned. And I’ve owned over 3-4 in the past 10yrs. I got this one at $25 instead of the highest-rated one for $9.99 because those require AA batteries and this frother however is USB-C rechargeable! So in 1-2 years it will have paid for itself in battery costs alone. But there’s no price I can put on how enjoyable it is to use this super powerful, super smooth, high quality, wand frother.

Quality Design
Color: Gray
Excellent frother/mixer Pros: - Quality feels premium. - Plenty of power to mix even with a drink packed with ice and peanut butter. Basically a mini handheld mixer. - Ease of use is great. I appreciated that this had a longer brother so I can mix drinks in taller cups. Also the grip is fantastic and it is easy very easy to change the speed with just one hand so you can hold the drink with the other. Longevity - So far it's been holding up and hasn't needed a battery replacement. Cons: None so far.

Highly recommend!
Color: Gray
Love this frother!!! Purchased to replace an Aerolatte that stopped working after a reasonable period of use. Right out of the box, it was charged and ready to go. I’ve been using it daily for about 5 weeks on the same charge it had on arrival and it’s still going strong. Love the variable speed and easy to work with one hand. And this baby can froth! It froths far better than our old Aerolatte. Also love the rechargeable feature so no more AA batteries wasted. This handy kitchen tool makes my morning coffee a true highlight. Highly recommend the Maestri milk frother!

Best Frother Ever!
Color: Black
Great little frother and very powerful after just one charge. I haven’t charged it since the first day and it is still going strong after 3 weeks. I use it daily for coffee froth, but have used it for mixing other things as well. It works great on mixing drink powders into water and for making salad dressing from scratch. It’s one of the best things I’ve purchased on Amazon for kitchen tools. My old frother ate through batteries and was 1/10th as powerful. This one really is amazing. Great quality heavy duty but still small machine. Extra attachment heads are also a bonus.

Very good frother that gets the job done extreamly well
Color: White
I hvae used this frother primarily for smoothies and coffees. Each time, it does a wonderful job. Deducted a star for the location of the speed control which is ontop of the device. It's akward to use one handed while attempting to control the speed, athough it's advertised as making it easier. It's not!
