Pachypodium bispinosum Caudiciform Second image shows the orangePachypodium bispinosum A nice shrubby caudiciform species of Pachypodium. Said to be the most floriferous species. Very similar to P. succulentum but differs in the flowers and it seems to make more small branches (which is nicer in my opinion). Not difficult to grow. Experiences light frost in its native South Africa, but any hard frost can kill it. Likes water during the growing season as long as it is in well drained soil. Should be kept fairly dry
