r/Pachypodium

Don't mind the white stuff on the leaves thats just diatomaceous earth that hasn't washed off yet.

Hello, I recently germinated a bunch of pachy seeds and got this little fella, he's seems to only be shooting round leafs instead of the more pointy looking ones

Love the compact leaves

This buddy just turned 9 years old. Has been growing pretty decently in the flatlands of middle America. Stays outside all spring and summer and rotates in and out during the fall when temperature fluctuates.

Hi folks. I have a P. Griquense that has been growing a little too well! As you can see I have an extremely lanky branch, it has flowered and seeded from it.

Question is it too late in the year to cut it? Or should I wait till next growing season? I know that it’s officially October now but it’s 90 degrees here in costal Los Angeles for the next week so…

Thanks all!

Found this guy walking around today in Home Depot.

-Just shy of 2 feet tall.

- in a 1.5 gallon nursery pot

-Had heavy wet organic substrate.

-24 dollars (no clue if this is decent or not but 24 bucks is cheap in my mind).

Took it and tossed him on the work bench to find a big ole root ball, I was suprised. I cleaned a majority of the old substrate and made sure what was left was lose.

Repotted in a 10.25-in Terra Cotta Flair Pot (really could of went bigger, that's a problem for next season).

50% Miracle-Gro cactus and succlent mix 50% 1/4 inch pumice

Don't plan on watering for a week to let the roots heal after the repot.

Still warm here for the next while so I'll toss him out in the morning sun then in for the evenings under the photon machine.
