I have had a Madagascar Palm (rescued from Walmart) for about 1.5 years...its doing pretty good. I don't really know the proper way to care for it though...(watering sun etc...) does anyone else have one? If you do can you share your tips? Posts: 4 | From: Vermont | Registered: Dec 2005

It's not a palm at all, that's a misleading common name, it's a pachypodium (PACHYPODIUM LAMEREI) that resembles but is not related to palms. Here are two sites that may help you.

little water.its a succulent.Did ya know they can grow 1 ft a year?And can grow as tall as 18 ft???(yeah 18 ft in the tropics)It CAN have a bloom thats white,but not likely on a container grown plant& its useually a mature plant grown in the ground THAT blooms.They are related to plumeria. Their average size container grown are about 10 ft.They like a lot of sun.The coldest they take is 35.they are dorment in winter so don't need alot of water right now.
bbbbbbbbb I will age ungracefully until I become an old woman in a small garden..doing whatever the Hell I want!
