Madagascar Palm is a stunning, tall succulent with a spiky trunk. Being a succulent, it loves lots of direct, bright light and doesn't require much water!
To plant the seeds, pre-soak in warm water for 12-24 hours, sow in a well-draining medium, cover with a humidity dome and keep >70F(use a heat mat if necessary). The seeds can germinate very quickly given good conditions, otherwise they usually take up to 2 weeks to germinate.
