- Operculicarya decaryi, commonly known as the Madagascar Elephant Tree. - It thrives in well-draining soil with minimal watering, as it is highly drought-tolerant. Provide bright, indirect light or full sun for optimal growth, and protect it from frost, as it prefers temperatures above 50°F (10°C).
- During its growing season (spring and summer), water sparingly once the soil has completely dried out; in winter, reduce watering even further.
- Occasional pruning helps maintain its shape, and a diluted cactus fertilizer can be applied sparingly during the growing months.
