I hope you've been doing well!Hey @nikv,
I don't believe I've ever seen these type of plants before. You've piqued my interest, I might have to see if I can find one and will do a little research on it tonight.
If I'm to guess, these things don't like a lot of water and perhaps enjoy having their roots dry for a brief while in-between waterings.
It kind of looks like a little ancient magical tree, my imagination is running wild with this one.
I believe it's going to do just fine under your care, not everyone has the ability to save plants from rot, that is impressive.
Thanks for sharing with us, I look forward to hearing how this one grows for you, I think it's going to grow very nicely.
We'll see but I am hopeful. These plants actually like a lot of water in summer, they are adapted to surviving long dry spells of a couple of months, they can go for about 6 months without water over late autmn, winter and early spring. They do like heat and strong sunlight but I'm not sure if they would appreciate the fan in a grow tent. They are one of the easier pachypodiums to grow, just keep them dry and warm in winter
Thank you for the care tips. Being able to go a half year without water is impressive.
