🌵 Pachypodium namaquanum

Pachypodium namaquanum is one of nature’s most remarkable caudex plants. Native to the arid regions of southern Africa, it is celebrated for its thick, columnar trunk, which stores water, and its elegant clusters of leaves at the top. This unique plant is often called the “Halfmens” due to its human-like silhouette, giving it an extraordinary presence in any plant collection.
