HOJNY Succulents Pachypodium saundersii

Once your seedling arrives, pot it immediately in a well-draining cactus or succulent potting mix. Use a container with drainage holes to prevent water from pooling, which is essential for the health of Pachypodium species.

Not at all. Pachypodium saundersii is naturally deciduous and often sheds its leaves during the cooler winter months as it enters a dormant phase. Simply reduce watering during this time and wait for new growth to emerge in the spring.

This succulent thrives in bright, direct sunlight. A south-facing window is ideal, as it needs plenty of light to maintain its sculptural form and encourage flowering.

This species is not frost-tolerant and requires temperatures to stay above 13°C (55°F). If you live in a colder climate, ensure it is kept indoors or in a temperature-controlled environment during the winter.

As a drought-tolerant succulent, it prefers a 'soak and dry' approach. Water thoroughly when the soil has dried out completely, but be careful not to let it sit in soggy soil, as this can lead to root rot.
