They are all xerophyte, meaning that they live in dry or even arid conditions, both because of the long dry season (up to 10 months) and because they grow on rocky, sandy or gravely soils, that do not retain water and nutrients. They can survive cold winters, but their leaves die and they fall in dormant state. The big trunk of Pachypodium geayi resembles a bottle shape, hence the common name.
