I messed mine up giving it to much fertilizer once it grew really fast tho now it has recovered it looks awesome, it grew quite a lot this year and still growing, it's in cacti soil now perlite and very heavy clay pot.
I have several. I got really lucky and one of mine grows in the monstrose form. (It branches as it pleases, more spots every year, it's the one I grew from a 2 inch seedling.
@@seiyuokamihimura5082 The seedlings are P. cactipes. I've branched out to a few other species. P. namanquanum is on my wish list! I've heard it's hard to come by. I don't have a P. leali. Where did you get yours? I'm sorry your namanquanum didn't survive the winter. I know my P. geayi can be a little finicky in the FL winters (which I think are not harsh at all).
Enjoyed your video! I bought a Madagascar Cactus Palm earlier this year and had now clue about it until watching your blog. I’ve moved it around to several places in my apartment and it seems to be happiest on the corner of my tv console closets to the door. What kind of soil do you use for yours? Would you recommend mixing sand into the soil. Currently, the soil I use is regular potting soil mixed with coconut coir, perlite and sphagnum moss. Some days it looks to be doing ok and other days not so much! It’s happy right now... I think 🤔.
I use regular soil, and broken up lava rock. A friend in my Facebook group suggested adding perlite to the mixture, so I'm going to give it a shot when I re-pot one of my guys. They like fast draining soil that doesn't retain an incredible amount of water. Too much water can cause root rot. Does its current spot get full sun? Also what is the temperature in your house? They like to be pretty warm, which is why all of my guys are outside. They also only really get watered when it rains too. And they seem to love it.
Hi, thanks for the video. Would you have some tips on how to water? I always find contradictory information: either water a lot or almost not. How to recognize when it needs water and how much? Also my palm gives plenty of new leaves but they all get black very quickly. New ones come again and get black again. What could be wrong? Thanks!
Tatiana Lot I barely water mine. They are outside 24/7. Only exception is severe weather (mostly hurricanes) and are covered when there's a freeze warning. They spend it in full sun. The black leaves can indicate it's getting too much water. I would not water it for a month and see how it goes.
If I've killed a plant, 99% chance is I overwatered it. Black on your plants, more often than not, means it's getting too much water or not drying out enough for its light situation.
Madagascar Palm accidentally suffered burns from my full spectrum grow lamp but since I didn't give up on it there's now new growth from old leaf nodes all over the plant
How long should I wait to transplant it to ground soil? And is there any special soil that I should use (Black Cow, etc) to transplant it? Or should I wait a few years more? Thanks!
I dug out left roots and just transplanted a 6' 5 multi-stalk large MP. Should I soak the roots once planted in soil right after transplanted? What's the best way to minimize transplant shock (vitamin B-1)?
I am having problems with mine, it looks like sap is on the new leaves and it browns them and destroys them😢. It's growing cool too. How do I fix this I don't want to loose it
i'm new with this genus (horombense and rosulatum) and i see their leaves went black, dry, and fell off as i repot them (but the stems and roots are doing fine, so far), and it's almost all of the leaves. is this normal or there's something off? (for context, i get them online and they're shipped inside boxes for days, one bare-rooted and one isn't) also follow-up question: what mix suits them best?
Hi I enjoyed you video. I just got a new Pachypodium when I got it It had like 20 leaves on top. and now I have had it 2 weeks and I have no leaves left. and it is going crooked. But I just heard you say then like a smaller pot. I will repot it tomorrow into a smaller pot because put it in a wide but not deep pot. Thank you for any help you can give me.
@@MadagascarMadness i have only watered it 2 times, the trunk does not feel squiahy. but it looks exactly like it did last week. no change. at all I was hoping maybe a leaf on top would start but nothing. It was a bad week cause I also got a Frizzel Sizzle and That Fizzeled so it was not my week for plants and expensive ones. Thank you so much for answering it made my day.
Where do you have it? These guys can go dormant for a while. I know the one species in this video stayed dormant for almost a year! Feel free to respond here, or you can join my Facebook group, Madagascar Madness facebook.com/groups/MaddyMadness
Put it somewhere warm, and give it water weekly or biweekly until the new leaves pop. Just keep the soil moist, and make sure the night time temps are around 70-80 degrees.
I'm gonna get a Madagascar palm today 🌴

Hmm , you kind of have me thinking about these, well explained video thank you

That's awesome! I've started to grow another species of a Madagascar Palm. They're about an inch tall right now.
@@MadagascarMadness nice! Which species? I have leali and lamerei atm. I had a namanquanum, but it didnt survive the winter.

How often are you watering it? Does the trunk feel squishy?

Is some give when pushing on the trunk okay?
I NEED HELP lol.......mine is so awesome looking but it looks like it (wilting)? Is that possible????
What you got there is Pachypodium lealii and the other one is Pachypodium Geayi. My profile pic is Geayi . Been trying to collect the whole family
My Madagascar palm has not had any new growth... could you tell me why? Been this way even in the summer/fall...
