- Pachypodium rosulatum subsp. cactipes is a succulent plant native to Madagascar, and it's a subspecies of Pachypodium rosulatum. Here are care and growing conditions for Pachypodium rosulatum subsp. cactipes:
Light:
Provide bright, indirect sunlight or partial shade. Pachypodium rosulatum subsp. cactipes can tolerate direct sunlight, but it's crucial to acclimate the plant gradually to prevent sunburn.
Temperature:
Keep the plant in warm conditions. It is sensitive to cold temperatures and should be protected from frost. Ideally, maintain temperatures above 50°F (10°C).
Soil:
Use a well-draining soil mix. A cactus or succulent mix works well, or you can amend regular potting soil with sand or perlite to enhance drainage.
Watering:
Water sparingly. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings, especially during the dormant period in winter. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Humidity:
Pachypodiums generally tolerate low humidity, but they appreciate some humidity. Ensure good air circulation around the plant.
Fertilization:
Feed with a balanced, diluted fertilizer during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce or stop fertilizing in the dormant period.
Pruning:
Minimal pruning is usually required. Remove any dead or damaged growth as needed.
Potting:
Repot when the plant outgrows its container or when the soil becomes exhausted. Use a larger pot with fresh, well-draining soil.
Pests and Diseases:
Watch for common pests such as scale insects or spider mites. Treat any infestations promptly. Pachypodium rosulatum subsp. cactipes is generally resistant to diseases.
Caution:
Pachypodiums can have thorns, so handle with care. Keep them out of reach of pets and children.
As always, it's essential to observe your specific plant's behavior and adjust care based on its individual needs. Additionally, consider the local climate conditions and adapt care accordingly.

Wow! what an amazing landscape seen at 8:17. You are lucky to live there. Thx for the video. Hope your cactus is doing well after the repotting/rescue.
So nice of you to say so thank you 🫂💕 Yes it has recovered well and now I have extra plants too so everyone is happy lol 😁
Hair dryer can help callusing in minutes.
ah good idea . I will try that next time on my succulents . Thanks 🫂
You caught that just in time.
That was close! And it looks so sturdy. It’s a good thing he decided to unpot and look at it.
yes i would not have noticed otherwise
you are 100% correct I would have lost the whole plant
I smash up my broken terracotta pots into gravel like chuncks and add that and the dust to the potting mix. That's about the only thing I do differently besides squeezing the trunks constantly and only watering them when they feel dehydrated. I have 13 plants in my Pachypodium collection, and I haven't lost anything except for two seedlings that died a few days after arriving due to shipping stress.
ah that is a really good idea thank you I can see why it would work well don't know why it did not occur to me before . Thank you . Mine never get watered by me but maybe I should move this one to under the eves where the rain can not reach
Thanks ❤❤❤
You're welcome 😊
Succulents can be difficult in wet areas
yes if the drainage is not correct it can kill them quickly
Dangerous plant!😮, but beautiful in its own way.
with such strange looking plants the flowers are such a joy .. the yellow just sings 😍
can I cut like that Buddha belly plant for repoting? thank you
Yes they will also propogate by cutting too
Is the plant you're working with adenium? Desert rose?
no not adenium this is a pachypodium .. but they also take drier conditions
I nearly had a kadenza 🫂🫂
Drama day ...
