Pachypodium brevicaule Big plant on own roots! (B) Caudiciform Cool and wet or low

Cool and wet or low light and wet are what rot this and all other Stapeliads

As the plant matures the leaves develop prominent spines (see last image)

It doesn't like to dry out fully

If yours greens up just give it more light and it should color up again

Pachypodium brevicaule Big plant on own roots! (B) Caudiciform Cool and wet or lowPachypodium brevicaule Family: Apocynaceae. The smallest and most unusual of all Pachypodiums. It only grows a few inches tall but spreads horizontally forming a clump a foot or more across in time. The flowers are yellow. This is a slow growing species, but a very rewarding one to grow. Not difficult to grow. Can survive temps down to (but not below) freezing, but prefers it a bit warmer in winter if possible (that is true for all Pachypodiums).
