Pachypodium ambongense *Larger*

Pachypodium ambongense *Larger*Pachypodium Ambongense One of the rarest and largest species of Pachypodium. It can reach 20 feet tall or more in the wild. In pots you can keep it around 3 5 feet tall. Not difficult to grow. Can survive temperatures down to freezing, but prefers it a bit warmer in winter if possible (that is true for all Pachypodiums). Likes water during the growing season as long as it is in well drained soil. Should be kept fairly dry in the winter, especially

adding some branches as it matures

I will update the listing if I find a more accurate name

You can bring out even more red color in the plants by putting it in higher light and/or water stressing them some

This plant is lightly variegated

other than we got it from a grower whose initials are JM

This looks like a miniature form of Fenestraria (Baby Toes) but I think the leaves and flowers are more attractive in this species

Will form offsets in time but isn't heavy clumper

greener in low light

Flowers are pink and produced in the spring and summer

Family: Apocynaceae

Likes filtered light and will need some sort of pole or trellis for the vine to climb on

Sensitive to overwatering
