The Madagascar palm (Pachypodium lamerei) is not related to true palms at all. This unusual plant is actually a succulent shrub in the Apocynaceae dogbane family within the Pachypodium genus.


Native to southern Madagascar, this tropical species is a tender perennial hardy to USDA Zones 9 through 11. Often grown as a houseplant, it can also be overwintered indoors in cooler climates.


On a single thick grey trunk, the stems are thick and thorny. The leathery, deciduous foliage is blue-green to dark green. Terminal clusters of yellow-throated white flowers bloom as soon as late spring to early summer. Petals spiraling, each flower measures about four inches across. The aromatic flowers are usually white, but can sometimes be yellow, pink, or red.

When established outdoors in the ground, the plant's slender, straight spindly trunk can reach up to 24 feet high with spirally arranged leaves at the top. When grown indoors, it remains much smaller, at most six feet tall. This shrub rarely produces branches.


Madagascar palm matures within 10 or more years' time. Large plants tend to bloom in summer, while smaller, younger plants rarely bloom.

Madagascar Palm Care
Your Madagascar palm needs a space 36 to 48 inches wide. Establish it in the ground or as potted plants on a patio or indoors. Grow this plant indoors year-round in mild-winter locations.

Where temperatures are warmer, cultivate in a clay pot (not a plastic one) outside in summer. Selecting a container with proper drainage holes will help avoid root rot.

Light
Grow your Madagascar palm under in full light and fairly warm temperatures. Indoors, set in a south or west-facing window.

Soil
Madagascar palm can adapt to a variety of well-drained soils. It will grow in the sandy soil of old dunes near the sea, in limestone, schists, etc. For best results, plant in cactus compost. Maintain a mildly acidic to mildly alkaline pH between 6.1 and 7.8.

Water
Allow the soil to dry between waterings in spring and summer. Expect leaves to drop in winter unless specimens are grown in south Florida or indoors where plants may keep their foliage.

Whenever the surface soil becomes dry, water more. Water just to maintain dry/mesic soil moisture. Water less once your Madagascar palm is established and even less in winter.

Fertilizer
Feed the tree a general-purpose liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half-strength at the start of spring and the beginning of summer, or a low nitrogen liquid fertilizer every four to five weeks.

Whether grown indoors or outdoors, do not fertilize in fall or winter. Continue watering and feeding whenever new growth shows.

With proper care, Madagascar palms will grow around 12 inches per year when happily and healthily.

Is the Madagascar Palm toxic?
All parts of the plants are toxic for humans and pets.

Symptoms of poisoning
The Madagascar palm has a highly toxic sap that has actually been used to create poisonous arrows since ancient times in Africa. If ingested by pets, the glycosides can cause gastric upsets, inappetence, heart arrhythmias and lethargy. If ingested in large enough quantities it can be fatal.

In humans, symptoms can include finger swelling and severe pain.

Pruning
Pruning is not usually needed for a Madagascar palm. Even so, the plant actually has incredible regenerative properties. While this species typically grows a single trunk, sometimes it will branch after flowering or after the main stem is injured.

To maintain a smaller size or to try to induce branching, prune the tree with care. Slice the top with a sterile knife, saw, or shears to prevent infection.

Propagating Madagascar Palm
In late spring, propagate by seed at 66-75°F (19-24°C) or take stem-tip cuttings. Soak seeds for at least 24 hours in warm water. Be patient, as the Madagascar palm tends to sprout quite slowly, anywhere from three weeks to six months.

For quicker results, break off a piece of new shoots above the base. Allow shoots to dry for a week. Then plant in a well-draining soil mix.

Common Pests/Diseases
This species is relatively disease resistant though it is vulnerable to aphids while flowering.

Keep an eye out for cassava whitefly and lance nematode. If it does show signs of pest infestation or disease, remove the parts that are damaged.

Dog approved for fun, human approved for durability for the price.
Size: 8 Inch Diameter, Color: Orange
This has been my dogs favorite outdoor toy for years . I love these because they are durable and won't deflate when bitten or when carried around in their mouth.... no matter how many holes the dogs put in them. We leave these outside year round even in Minnesota winters. It is strong enough to hold up yet soft enough to be safe on their teeth. Now I do want to say although it is really durable it is not indescribable. IF you have a heavy chewer or a dog that loves to destroy toys, they would need supervision with this I think. My dogs don't try to chew this up but they do wear out over time. We replace it every 2 to 3 years on average. Definitely dog approved and recommended in my home, and human approved for cost and durability. I hope your dogs love it as much as mine do.

Best ball for dogs!
Size: 8 Inch Diameter, Color: Red
This is the best quality and long lasting ball for dogs. It's soft enough to kick and durable enough to where they can chew and chew and it will not lose It's shape. We play hardcore everyday for months and it holds up. Never have to worry about chunks falling off and peeling. Border Collie approved!! Also, $8 cheaper off amazon VS pet store or pet store website. You'll know when it has to be replaced once you have to manually re-inflate with your hands but thats after many many months.

GOOD BALL
Size: 6 Inch Diameter, Color: Apple Green
This is my second time buying this ball for my blue heeler, and it is easily his favorite toy. It is very sturdy, especially for hard-playing dogs, and handles rough outdoor play sessions effortlessly. The design is brilliant because it does not go flat, yet my dog is still able to bite it and get a good grip on it. It’s the perfect combination of being tough but still flexible enough for a dog to enjoy carrying around. For comparison, our first ball finally stayed flat after a solid 2 months of non-stop, hardcore playing, which is a massive win compared to other toys he destroys in minutes. If you have an active, high-energy dog that loves to play rough, this ball is highly recommended!

Best Ball ever! Aussie is obsessed
Size: 6 Inch Diameter, Color: Orange
I will never buy any other ball!!!! I bought the 8 inch which my crazy Aussie liked. The 6 inch one he won't stop carrying it around. his face use to be so sad when he would pop other balls. This one deflates and fills back up instantly! He chases it and chews on it. We gone through a lot of balls, but this is going to be a staple in our house!

Great for crazy pups!
Size: 8 Inch Diameter, Color: Ocean Blue
Tough and fun! This is a great toy to keep in the yard for play. I have a heavy chewer. He can get a hold of it and carry it around but it doesn't pop. It is soft enough but also strong. My dog loves to herd it around. He loves it!
