Pachypodium eburneum seeds
Discover the exceptional Pachypodium eburneum seeds, a rare and captivating succulent native to the rocky, arid regions of Central and Southern Madagascar 6. The name “eburneum” derives from the Latin word for “ivory-like,” referring to its striking, smooth, ivory-colored trunk that sets it apart from other species 6. This dwarf succulent grows slowly, reaching up to 25-30 cm in height, and forms a thick, swollen caudex base that stores water, making it highly drought-tolerant 34. Its spirally arranged, narrow green leaves crown the top of the stem, and mature plants produce beautiful white, trumpet-shaped flowers with pale yellow throats during the growing season, adding to its exotic charm 19.
Ideal for succulent enthusiasts, caudex collectors, and bonsai artists, Pachypodium eburneum thrives in well-draining soil and requires full sun to partial shade 4. Water sparingly, especially during winter dormancy, to prevent root rot, as the plant is prone to rotting under less-than-ideal conditions 3. Our seeds are spindle-shaped, light brown, and lined with fine silky hairs, designed for wind dispersal 1. For optimal germination, sow seeds with the round edge downward in a well-draining mix at approximately 22°C, maintaining slight humidity 9.
