These are awesome!
Arguably the most beautiful Pachypodium and the only one to produce red flowers.
The bulbous, swollen base becomes more prominent as it matures and is offset by multiple twisting branches.
Water and heat requirements make this a plant that requires some care, especially as to where you locate it, but it will return the care by becoming a true 'wow' factor plant for you.
Can be grown indoors or in a patio in warm sunny conditions.
