Pachypodium saundersii thrives in bright, direct sunlight and prefers warm temperatures. It should be watered sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. The plant does well in moderate humidity and can be grown both indoors and outdoors, provided it receives ample light.Suelo
This plant prefers sandy soil with excellent drainage to prevent root rot. A cactus or succulent mix is ideal. Ensure the soil is well-draining and avoid waterlogging.Fertilizante
Use a balanced fertilizer with a nutrient composition of 5-10-10 during the growing season. Fertilize sparingly, about once a month, to avoid over-fertilization.Trasplante
