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.

This version is ok, but NOT for my boy-The 24in Jumbo version is the perfect toy for Kota-Ghost.
Style: White, Size: 24" Jumbo, Style: White, Size: 24" Jumbo
Adorable & nice but... I hate writing adverse reviews but I had to for this one. It lasted exactly 1 minute. 30 seconds of that was Ghost pulling the rest of the stuffing out to completely gut this Lambie. I know what happened-The material on the chest and the little red buttons were the issue. Cute as it may be, that material is terrible. My Great Pyrenees/AmStaff/Golden Retriever Mix boy, Kota-Ghost, very rarely tears his stuffy squeaky toys up. He is only 7 months old and has only shown interest in tearing something up if it was already broken(had an existing rip or tear)This is only the 2nd or 3 toy he has torn up in his whole life(and he literally has at least 30 stuffy toys(some left by my sweet Bella--she passed away in March but most are brand new because when I saw he wasn't a Destructo-Dog, I went a bit overboard buyin him stuffies-So much that my Hubs was not happy with me but he was secretly glad I did it😈.) See my review for the Jumbo Lambchop toy-That toy was and IS quite possibly the best stuffed squeaky toy available for bigger dogs. Only the MultiPet brand Jumbo tho-There are other brands that arent great. You can tell by the materials used on the face of the real Jumbo 24 inch ones from MultiPet. The Jumbo was a much better experience for us! I have also ordered the smaller one for him becuz he really wants the cat's lambie toy too. They have the 6 inch, not the "cat toy" version and they(and Ghost)love it. No one tears it up. I'll review it once his is delivered because while I know he doesnt rip the 6 inch one apart it is technically the cat's toy(not his) and we usually make him give it back to them pretty quickly. Ill review it when he gets his own & is allowed to do whatever he chooses. Hopefully he will treat it like Jumbo Lambie...Ok well, maybe not exactly that way cuz...Well, Lets just say he gets very, erhmm, frisky with his Jumbo Lambie. He doesnt like when we wash her but we do. Unfortunately he tries to take her outside in the dirt and/or in the pool with him. I will mention that more in my review for Jumbo Lambie. As for this standing up version-It MIGHT be fine for your dog or cat but it definitely was not durable for my Ghostie. It is a good size for a smaller/medium sized dog but definitely not good for puppies & especially those that still have their deciduous(milk/needle)teeth and not for even light to moderate chewers due to the material on the chest. That's what made Ghost tear his up. He nicked it with his teeth, a hole formed and that was apparently his cue to rip the squeaker out & tear the poor toy to shreds-He did have fun doing it tho. Haha. For some dogs this toy might be great fun. It is definitely a great brand and the jumbo version is Ghost's fave toy of all time. Pricing on all of MultiPet's dog toys are amazing and I hope they stay that way! We keep several of the Jumbo Lambies here in case one "goes swimming" so we can wash it and he has one to carry/cuddle or in case one gets temporarily left behind somewhere cuz he wants to take it everywhere he goes. We let him bring her along except for on walks

Our Two year-old Great Pyrenees rescue loves her Lambchop. She’s fairly gentle with it, but it did accidentally rip so we had replace it since she loves it so much. No fault of the product. The product is very well made, She just got a little rough with it.

Excellent for chewers who like to extract squeekers. It has many.
Style: Lambchop, Size: 10"
This was my dog Clarks favorite toy. When he passed away last year, I saved his played with lamb chop and it sits near his ashes. My current dog Walter loves lamb chop too. I appreciate the squeekers in the all the mitts. It really adds so much to this toy. Great design. Durability will always be an issue with soft fluffy squeeky toys. I buy this knowing that half the fun for my dog is trying to extract all the squeekers.

Soft, strong, beautiful toy! My pup's favorite!!
Style: White, Size: 6"
My pups favorite toy is Lambchop!! They're soft, odor-free, and pretty chew-resistant, considering the work out, it goes through! I stay vigilant in keeping them in stock, for her playing pleasure. She enjoys doing her zoomies, squeaking as she goes. Stops, tossing it in the air, to catch it, them off zooming again! Thank You for the care taken in making this adorable toy, for hours of fun for my pup! Please keep them in stock. They're well worth every penny!!

BEST TOY!
Style: White, Size: 6"
I recently bought the Multipet INTERNATIONAL 843140 Lambchop Plush Squeak Toy Mini for my small dog, and it has quickly become her favorite toy. Here’s why this little squeak toy is a great addition to any pet’s collection: Adorable Design The Lambchop Plush Squeak Toy is absolutely adorable. It resembles the beloved character Lambchop, which adds a nostalgic charm for those who remember the classic TV show. The toy is well-crafted with a cute, friendly face and soft, plush material. Its small size makes it perfect for petite pets, and it’s just the right size for my dog to carry around and snuggle with. Engaging and Fun The built-in squeaker adds an extra layer of excitement for my pet. Every time she bites down, the squeak captures her attention and keeps her engaged for longer periods. It’s great for interactive play, fetch, and even as a comforting chew toy. My dog loves the noise it makes and often brings it to me to initiate playtime. Durable Construction Despite its soft and plush exterior, the Lambchop toy has proven to be quite durable. My dog is a moderate chewer, and after several weeks of play, the toy is still intact with no signs of wear and tear. The stitching is strong and has held up well against my dog’s playful bites and tugs. However, for very aggressive chewers, it might not last as long. Easy to Clean The toy is also relatively easy to clean. I’ve hand-washed it a few times to keep it fresh, and it dries quickly without losing its shape or squeak. The white color, while prone to getting dirty, can be easily spot-cleaned to maintain its appearance. Perfect Size for Small Pets At 6 inches, this toy is ideally sized for small dogs and even cats. It’s lightweight and easy for them to carry around. My dog can comfortably grip it in her mouth, and the toy is soft enough for her to cuddle with during nap time. Value for Money Considering its durability, engaging design, and the joy it brings to my pet, the Multipet Lambchop Plush Squeak Toy offers excellent value for money. It’s reasonably priced and provides hours of entertainment and comfort for my dog. Overall Impression Overall, the Multipet INTERNATIONAL 843140 Lambchop Plush Squeak Toy Mini is a fantastic toy for small pets. Its adorable design, engaging squeaker, and durable construction make it a worthwhile purchase. My dog loves it, and it has quickly become a staple in her toy collection. I highly recommend this toy to anyone looking for a cute and fun squeak toy for their small pet.
