Talinella pachypoda is a member of the Portulacaceae family. Found in Northern Madagascar. It is not a succulent. l chose this species for its base, trunk growth.

Though l have had this plant for more than ten years, l still do not know much about it, and I haven't found much information on it. It has been growing in the fast-draining soil mix l use for most of my succulent plants, and in mostly full sun. Overall, it is being ignored.

This year I am giving the plant more water and less full afternoon sun, and I will be more diligent on regular feeding. l hope I will see more growth and blooms in the future, which it hasn't produced yet.

I will post new photos at a later date.
