r/Pachypodium

When do I start to transition them to harder conditions?

Just sharing. This is available.

I think it’s a lamerei

Found some white-skinned Pachypodium densiflorum. The shape is a bit like Pachypodium rosulatum var. gracilius, and I love them so much!

Why is this Pachy deflating so much? It’s in a mostly inorganic mix. I’ve read that it needs to be watered deeply. I’ve tried to start watering it more often but still seems to be slowly shrinking.

Not mushy at all.

First bloom and now starting to fatten up, grown same as all other pachy’s. Fed and watered all same. I let plant’s genetics choose their own direction without trying to force it to do something that it may not be pre disposed to do. I give max energy push and it will get where it is going faster than if I tried to force it by starving it and minimizing its root ball.

And this one is larger!

The few rosulatums in my pachY stable are all blooming.

They never went totally dormant, as confirmed by vendor and are the first to bloom before cactipes . However they do look almost identical

Guess it is rotting, it started in a pretty cold period of time, now it's hot where I live but I dunno if I should do something regarding this

First time blooming, was initially a no-ID tag from vendor but clearly bicolor, have 2 more bicolor yet to bloom

Some of the cactipes bloom a bit later than standard rosulatums but hard to tell any difference

From PFN a scratch and dent sale. Has a dry wound up high. Bought as a large plant but did not bloom last year as it was repotted. Differs from regular rosulatums as this goes completely dormant and is just starting to leaf out now and it will have plenty of flower spikes. Have not seen it’s flowers yet but expect to same color and shape as other rosulatums. Time will tell
