What a difference a month makes. This Madagascar palm loves the cooler temperatures of November...which in Phoenix means mid-70s. Interestingly, the Madagascar palm is not a true palm; it's actually a succulent and more closely related to a Plumeria than to any palm. The scientific name is Pachypodium lamerei.
With winter and cooler temps, the lovely green leaves will drop and the plant will go dormant, hopefully rebounding in the Spring with bright new leaves.
