I had purchased this pachypodium saundersii years ago, pre-COVID during a local plant sale. She’s pretty hardy as she just lives on a table in the backyard in mostly full sun year round and hasn’t died off or suffered too much from overexposure of any kind (we live in a favorable succulent environment so overexposure isn’t too much of a concern, but it did rain quite a bit the last year or two and it can dip into almost freezing at night a few times in the Winter).
I had finally, years later, re-potted her into a container other than the ugly plastic one that it came in. I always see pictures of these with gorgeous thick caudexes. I have a feeling that I need to water her more, especially now when it is hot AF.
This is Bob the coffee plant. Bob lives outdoors on the porch. I would love for Bob to live in the house in a window or something, but I cannot trust the orange one not to eat the plants. One of the few plants that I own that regularly requires actual watering. The goal here is a long term one: Keep Bob alive, let him thrive, may be at some point down the line enjoy coffee beans; But I think for the time being, not dying is a good starting point.
