{"product_id":"senna-meridionalis","title":"Senna meridionalis","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eSenna meridionalis is a rare and highly collectible shrub or small tree native to Madagascar, where it grows naturally in seasonally dry tropical regions. It develops a thick, sculptural trunk and irregular branching that gives it a naturally bonsai-like appearance. Its delicate pinnate foliage provides a beautiful contrast against the rugged trunk, while bright yellow flowers may appear on mature specimens. Its unusual form and Madagascar origin make it especially desirable among collectors of caudiciforms and other distinctive specimen plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e☀️ \u003cstrong\u003eLight\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProvide very bright light to full sun.
