Description:
Pachypodium succulentum, also known as Kambroo, is a slow-growing caudiciform succulent native to South Africa. It features a large, half-submerged tuberous stem and produces crimson, pink, or white flowers from August to December. This plant is prone to rot if too wet in winter and is sensitive to cold, requiring dry conditions around 39°F. Its sturdy, water-holding swollen-stem base and thin shoots with paired thorns make it a unique addition to succulent collections.
