It is a spiny succulent from Madagascar, built for bright sun and long stretches without rain. Its thick trunk stores water to carry it through drought, and a crown of long, narrow leaves grows at the very top. The spines covering the trunk once kept grazing animals away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Japanese kokedama form suits a plant like this. The trunk rises from roots bound in a hand-formed moss ball, where its desert habit makes it an easy keeper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFull Sun and Infrequent Water\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eGive it as much light as you can. Six hours of direct sun is the minimum, ideally in a south- or west-facing window. Turn it every week or so, since it leans toward the brightest light and grows crooked if left facing one way.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWater it like a \u003ca title=\"succulent\" href=\"https:\/\/bloomist.mom\/products\/kalanchoe-flap-jack-kokedama\"\u003esucculent\u003c\/a\u003e. Let the moss ball go completely dry before soaking it again, which usually means about once every two weeks, and far less through winter. Overwatering is the fastest way to lose this plant. A soft trunk or darkened roots almost always means the ball stayed wet too long.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach kokedama includes your choice of a \u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Basic white patina planter\" href=\"https:\/\/bloomist.mom\/products\/tray-for-basic-planter-white-patina\"\u003ewhite\u003c\/a\u003e or \u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Basic grey patina planter\" href=\"https:\/\/bloomist.mom\/products\/tray-for-basic-planter-grey-patina\"\u003egray patina tray\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHandling and Safety\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMove the Madagascar palm succulent with care. The spines are sharp, so wear gloves or wrap the trunk in newspaper when you reposition it. Any broken surface weeps a milky sap that stings skin and eyes, so keep it away from children and pets. Some leaf drop in winter or in a dim corner is normal. A heavier drop usually means too little light or too much water.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIN A NUTSHELL\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"width: 100%; border-collapse: collapse; table-layout: fixed; font-size: 13px; line-height: 1.35;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 56px; text-align: center; vertical-align: middle; padding: 10px 8px;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"max-width: 36px; height: auto; display: block; margin: 0 auto;\" alt=\"Sunlight Icon\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0051\/8373\/3878\/files\/ICON_Sun_Bright.png?v=1618507829\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"vertical-align: middle; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin: 0; padding: 0;\"\u003e6–8 hours of direct sun in a south- or west-facing window daily.
