Matt ‘The Mini Palm’ Madagascar is truly fascinating to watch as he grows. When Madagascar Palms first sprout, they look like miniature palm trees! However, as these water-miser succulents mature, they grow a wide water-storing trunk that becomes covered in ornate spikes to protect it from animals looking to drink the water they store. Over time, these amazing plants can grow to heights of 200 feet in a tropical environment. This fun and entertaining kit comes with everything you need, even a collectible plant stake and genuine yellow jasper stone- just add water! The yellow Jasper represents the sun that they thrive in.
