🌿 Description
Bring a bold touch of the unusual into your home with this real live Madagascar Palm paired with a dramatic skull planter. The spiky trunk and lush green leaves create a striking contrast against the realistic skull, making it the perfect conversation piece for Halloween displays, gothic décor, or year-round statement styling.

The plant is a Madagascar Palm (Pachypodium lamerei), a drought-tolerant succulent tree prized for its architectural look and easy care. Each skull planter is paired with a healthy, nursery-grown plant from Elfin Forest, California, ready to add personality to your shelf, desk, or hanging display.

The skull planter includes three small drainage holes to ensure excess water can escape, since Madagascar Palms prefer dry conditions and should never sit in standing water.
