Is Pachypodium leallii self fertile?
If so, how do we pollinate it?
Thanks in advance!

Seems they are not self fertile. Only some cacti and maybe gasteria are self feritle among various succulent plants.

Many Anacampseros (& Avonia etc) as well as various mesembs are self-fertile, off the top of my head. I'm sure there are many more.

I think you allready know, but just in case Anacampseros and related, are members of the caryophyllales, and somewhat connected to cacti and aiozaceae. (and i know carpobrotus may be self-fertile as well)
