What Exactly Are
Pachypodiums? Pachypodiums are members of the large botanical family called Apocynaceae. This family consists of over 175 genera and includes such familiar plants as the periwinkle, oleander, and the plumeria or frangipani. All of these ornamentals are highly valued for their beautiful flowers, Pachypodiums being no exception. Even small plants will amaze you with their prolific floral display. What Do I Need To Grow Them Pachypodiums are robust succulents that rapidly respond to their growing environment and therefore require high light levels to keep them in check. A few hours of direct light each day and a minimum temperature of 55 degrees F. will keep them happy. They will grow well indoors on a sunny window sill, outdoors during the warmer months, and in a greenhouse as both of these conditions are easily met. Most growers new to this genus are often amazed at the amount of water required. Where Can I Buy Pachypodiums?
