Madagascar Palm Overview

Best Growing Environment

The Madagascar Palm (Pachypodium lamerei) is a unique and striking succulent that thrives in arid and semi-arid environments. Native to Madagascar, this plant prefers well-drained, sandy, or rocky soils and is highly drought-tolerant. It grows best in areas with hot, dry climates, where temperatures are consistently warm. The ideal soil pH ranges from slightly acidic to neutral (6.0 to 7.0). It is essential to provide a location with good air circulation to prevent fungal infections, especially in more humid climates.

Common Names

  • Madagascar Palm
  • Pachypodium
  • Pachypodium lamerei
  • Clubfoot (due to its swollen, trunk-like base)

Average Height and Diameter

The Madagascar Palm can grow to an average height of 10 to 20 feet (3 to 6 meters) in the ground when grown outdoors in ideal conditions. In containers, it typically reaches a height of 4 to 6 feet (1.2 to 1.8 meters). The trunk, which is thick and covered in spines, can have a diameter of up to 2 feet (0.6 meters) at its base, narrowing as it ascends.

Growth Rate

The growth rate of the Madagascar Palm is slow to moderate. It may take several years to reach significant height, particularly in cooler climates or when grown in containers. However, under optimal conditions, it can exhibit faster growth.

Sun Requirements

Full sun is essential for the best growth and development of the Madagascar Palm. It thrives with at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily. In regions with intense heat, it can tolerate some afternoon shade, but overall, the more sun it receives, the better it will grow.

Cold Hardiness

The Madagascar Palm is not frost-tolerant and is best suited for USDA zones 9b to 11. It can tolerate brief periods of temperatures down to about 35F (1.7°C) but will suffer damage if exposed to frost or freezing temperatures. In cooler climates, it is recommended to grow the plant in a container that can be moved indoors during the winter months.

Water Requirements

As a drought-tolerant succulent, the Madagascar Palm has low water requirements. It prefers infrequent but deep watering, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, especially in poorly drained soils. During the growing season (spring and summer), water the plant more regularly, but reduce watering significantly during the fall and winter when the plant is dormant.

Detailed Fertilizing Guide

  1. Early Spring: At the beginning of the growing season, apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer with a formulation such as 10-10-10 or 14-14-14. Use it at a rate of 1/2 to 1 pound per 100 square feet, depending on the size of the plant.
  2. Summer: Fertilize again with a balanced fertilizer or a cactus-specific formula, following the same guidelines. Ensure that the fertilizer is diluted to half-strength if using a liquid form to avoid burning the roots.
  3. Fall and Winter: Cease fertilizing in the fall as the plant enters dormancy. No fertilization is needed during the winter months.
  4. Additional Nutrients: While the Madagascar Palm does not have high nutrient requirements, an occasional application of a cactus fertilizer high in phosphorus can help support blooming and overall plant health.

Planting Guide

  1. Site Selection: Choose a location with full sun exposure and well-drained soil. If planting in a container, use a cactus or succulent potting mix to ensure proper drainage.
  2. Soil Preparation: Amend the soil with coarse sand or perlite to improve drainage if necessary. The soil should be loose and fast-draining to prevent water from pooling around the roots.
  3. Planting Time: The best time to plant a Madagascar Palm is in the spring, after the last frost has passed, allowing the plant to establish itself during the warm growing season.
  4. Planting Depth: Dig a hole twice as wide and the same depth as the root ball. Place the plant in the hole, ensuring the base of the stem is level with the soil surface.
  5. Backfilling: Fill the hole with soil, gently tamping it down to remove air pockets. Water lightly after planting to settle the soil.
  6. Mulching: Apply a layer of gravel or small stones around the base of the plant to help retain moisture without causing waterlogging.
  7. Spacing: Space plants at least 3 to 5 feet apart if planting multiple Madagascar Palms to allow for growth and air circulation.

Excellent Rivals to Lovers!!
Format: Kindle
The tension and banter between Huntyr and Wold was delectable. I absolutely love the fallen angel and all of his flaws. Huntyr is amazing too being a badass FMC with some major trauma. The world building was great and I enjoyed the training aspect of the story. The writing was immersive and was in the story the whole time. The ending had quite a twist that I hadn’t anticipated and made my jaw DROP. Excellent job! I also loved the narration. Laura is one of my fave narrators!

Beauty as an assassin? Yes, please.
Format: Kindle
I am a sucker for Beauty and the Beast retellings, especially when there is fae magic involved. This story is a stand-alone and can easily be read and enjoyed as such, but the story in the background is waiting to unfold. Briannis is a lost woman trying to find her place in the world. She happens to be an excellent assassin, but only when there is a good reason behind the job. She runs afoul of the law and is coerced into killing the King of Fae. Their tale begins with much violence and mistrust. They reach an understanding that turns into more as they are stuck inside the Keep thanks to the murderous roses encasing the building. Some of my favorite quotes "This is not very..." "Proper?" His low drawl curled around her guts, sweet and syrupy. "I thought you'd realise by now that I'm far from a proper man, Miss Iavi." She swallowed hard. "You're... you're not making sense. You don't even like me." "I don't?" he said dryly. "I tried to kill you! Three times in a row!" "You may want to leave," he added, barely even moving his lips. His voice was low and raspy, little more than a growl; the words came out with laboured breaths. "Before I no longer let you." "You can’t just act like you didn’t have your fingers inside me a few hours ago! That’s not something you talk about over strawberries!" He took a sip of tea. "You’ve had your knife inside me too." "That," she said exasperatedly, "is something extremely different." "In the sense that I’d be happy to repeat one incident and not the other, yes." He smiled at her over his teacup, shameless... "You make a terrible king out of me, Briannis Iavi." "Are you very sure? There’s no need to be polite if you—" "I’m not being polite!" A trembling laugh escaped her. "I have no intention at all of being polite to you!"

Love how this author writes, BUT..
Format: Kindle
I wanted to love everything about this book. I had this book release on my calendar. I read it the moment it became available. I’ve become a big fan after Marshall’s Blood and Bindings series, and I think she does a beautiful job writing complex, thoughtful characters. BUT. Spoilers below- This book missed the mark in two important ways for me. The first is the intro - this “very proper lady assassin” - first of all - we are supposed to believe that SHE is who the most powerful man in the city chose to assassinate his mortal enemy? Sure. She had killed some unsuspecting guys. But the leap from there to a Fae king with magic? And when she goes to do it- she does it by blindly bumbling around his castle and walking into the room where he is and trying to stab him in the middle of the day? I am willing suspend a lot of disbelief for a good story, but that was a major stretch that made the whole premise of the book feel contrived. And second… a whole dead side of his body? Like … dead. As in.. she smelled the rot. Saw the skeleton and dead mouth and skin. And then … had sex with it? Um. I’m no prude but … yuck. I couldn’t get past the necrophiliac imagery and visual, and it was a major turn off for me.

Fantasy Romance
Format: Kindle
✨’Would it truly be that bad?' he muttered, and for the first time since she'd awoken, there was a hint of humanity in his quiet words, a crack in that jaundiced shield. Warm breath brushed past her scalp. His arms didn't let go. 'If you ended up here with no way to leave?' ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌶️🌶️🌶️ Fantasy Romance 📖 🥀Oh, these moment with our MMC reach deep for me and make me love him all the more! Curse Of The Thorn King is @authorlisettemarshall’s new and utterly enchanting Beauty and the Beast retelling, and I absolutely loved it! This steamy, forced proximity, enemies to lovers story is the first installment in the new Wayfarer Fae series and I fell hard for these characters! ✨I thoroughly enjoyed the unique flower magic systems, the assassin plot, all of fun additions of Lady Lockwell's Handbook of Etiquette, and how that factored into the story. The flirtatious and stabby banter between the two main characters had me grinning like a complete fool as the romance developed….all while experiencing the moments that made my heart ache and even break for our MC’s as the plot unfolded. 🥀As I read Curse of the Thorn King I was consumed by that quintessential balance of angst, tension, steam, COMPLETE frustration (in the best way) emotional turmoil, and swoon worthy moments that my heart has come to associate with the magic of Lisette Marshall’s writing. This authors always makes me feel allll the feels ✨✨It is no surprise that I intimately drawn to these characters and their story. ✨I highly recommend Curse Of The Thorn King to fantasy, fantasy romance, and romantasy readers.
