How to fertilize Madagascar Palm
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Madagascar Palm after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

#succulentsquad #pachypodium I feel like Tom Hanks in Castaway every time I'm present for a plant doing positive stuff. Like, "I have made fire!" I have successfully been present and set up conditions to allow this plant with the big name to regenerate. New season, new leaves. 36-year-old Pachypodium lamerei!
