Re: Pachypodium mikea???
The only seedling I kept from this seed dried up and died over the winter, anyone got a spare?

Re: Pachypodium mikea???
Hi Nick,
These are the 2 that came my way. Despite having been watered regularly for the past 5 months, they have proved to be very stubborn in producing leaves. It is only in the last fortnight that the first one has started to produce leaves. It looked similar to the second one and then suddenly plumped up. I still hold out some hope that the second one might come back to life. Is yours in worse condition?

Re: Pachypodium mikea???
I only had the one P. mikea seed germinate, but still have it, see below.
It has been kept on a southeast facing windowsill and has developed a slight lean, but otherwise OK. Last year I feared for it as the leaves came out curled and unhealthy looking, but this year's growth is back to normal.
I am now feeling guilty, Nick, that I have this through your generosity and you have lost yours.

Re: Pachypodium mikea???
Yes, it's dead
It dried up like yours from the bottom but completely so. I cut the top off and tried to root it but it rotted.

That's OK, maybe I'll just have to go back and get some more.
