The Madagascar Palm (Pachypodium lamerei) is a highly distinctive succulent plant known for its striking, palm-like appearance. Despite its common name, it is not a true palm but belongs to the Dogbane family (Apocynaceae). It is a pachycaul (thick-trunked) stem succulent, meaning its swollen, spiny trunk serves as its main water storage organ.
This exotic plant is native to the dry xerophytic forests of southern and southwestern Madagascar, an island off the southeast coast of Africa.
Its most notable feature is its tall, silvery-gray, thick trunk that is densely covered with sharp, triple-grouped spines. This cigar-shaped, succulent stem is topped with a rosette of long, narrow, glossy green leaves, giving it a unique, tropical palm-tree silhouette. The plant may shed its leaves in winter or during prolonged dry periods (semi-deciduous).
-
Full Sun. This plant craves sunlight. Provide at least 6 hours of direct sun daily.
Low Water Needs. Water deeply when the soil is completely dry during the active growing season (spring and summer). Reduce watering significantly, or withhold it entirely, during its winter dormancy, especially if the leaves drop. Overwatering is the biggest threat.
Very Well-Draining Succulent Mix.
Prefers warm temperatures between 65°F and 85°F (18°C - 29°C). It is not frost-hardy and should be protected from temperatures below 40°F (4°C), which can cause cold damage and leaf drop.

A Book I Wish I Had Back Then
Format: Paperback
This is EXACTLY the sort of book I wish I had available to me when I was ready to leave home. I was filled with all sorts of braggadocio and I knew everything I needed to get out the door..............and then was introduced to the 'school of hard knocks'
From discovering how to budget and manage your money, to learning how to cook and eat healthy food, to figuring out how to start a career, this book has something to teach even the most well rounded youngster. These aren't in-depth discussions about every aspect of how to live your life, but these ARE a great starting point and with the knowledge provided here, and a little bit of common sense, you can survive early adulthood and move towards a more fulfilling life.
Life is a series of learned events, usually set it motion through observing the people we respect, but not everyone can be everywhere at once and this book can and does fill in a bit of this and a bit of that, often inspiring a conversation that will provide more opportunities to share life lessons and avoid some of the bumps and bruises life has to offer.
As a grandparent watching his oldest grandsons get ready to leave the nest, I found this book to be a helpful way to share my experiences in a way that goes well beyond "because I said so" and reaches into the 'how' and the 'why', even explaining the reasoning, all without seeming to meddle in their affairs.
Unlike childhood where you can stomp your feet, declare 'that's not fair' and receive an immediate 'do-over', real life doesn't offer that and it's best to be prepared for what life is going to bring you. This book does that.
