Pachypodium

The genus Pachypodium includes plants in the Apocynaceae family, which, while often mistaken for cacti, are actually succulents. The term "Pachypodium", meaning "thick foot", refers to the thickened stems at the base of these plants.

Native to Madagascar and southern Africa, these succulents require regular watering, but in small quantities. It is essential to avoid a lack of light to ensure their well-being.
