Product Information
Naturally, Jatropha Podagrica occurs in tropical Central America. There they can grow impressive thickened trunks with hefty leaves. Fortunately, they do not get that big in the house. However, even very young and small specimens can produce leaves larger than your hand. The Jatropha also blooms beautiful red flowers in the summer, with a flowering period of about 20 weeks! In the Netherlands the plant is also called bottle plant, because of its unique shape.
Care
This succulent needs little care, only in the summer months when the plant flowers it needs a little more water. The plant likes a light position, just avoid the bright midday sun. Let the potting soil dry well between waterings. In winter, the plant needs almost no water and the soil should be kept well dry. Beware, the plant is poisonous. Furthermore, the leaves turn yellow in winter, to form new leaves from February.
