Jatropha Podagra (Jatropha podagrica)
Meet Jatropha podagrica – one of the most intriguing houseplants, also known as the "Buddha's belly" due to its unusually swollen stem. This plant is a true work of natural art, combining sculptural form, large decorative leaves, and bright coral-red flowers that delight for a long time. It will be an exclusive gift and a bold accent for any modern interior, giving the space an exotic and unique character.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
-
☀️ Light: Bright, diffused light or direct sunlight. The plant loves light, but on the hottest summer days it will appreciate some shade from the most intense rays.
-
💧 Watering: Moderate to infrequent. Since jatropha stores water in its stem, the soil must dry out between watering sessions. Watering is significantly reduced in winter.
-
🌡️ Temperature/Humidity: Prefers warmth (above 18°C) and dry air. Misting is not necessary as the plant is well adapted to indoor conditions.
-
🐾 Pets: Not pet-friendly – all parts of the plant are toxic, so it should be placed out of reach of pets.
🏠 MOST SUITABLE ROOM
-
Sunny living room, where the jatropha can become the central conversation piece and stand out with its unusual form.
-
Bright home office, bringing tropical calm and visual dynamics to the space.
-
Winter garden or south-facing windowsill, where the plant will receive maximum energy for growth.

⚠️ Note: Plants are living organisms, so each specimen may differ slightly from the one shown in the picture.
🌡️ COLD TIME! If the outside temperature is below +5°C, be sure to add a heat pack to the order so that plants and predatory mites do not freeze on the way.
❄️ In cold weather, we recommend choosing Smartpost parcel lockers, as they provide indoor delivery, reducing the impact of low temperatures on the shipment.
⚠️ Important about the heating element! ‼️ 1 heating element per 1 order – it is not necessary to put one for each plant. ‼️ Provides heat for up to 72 hours. Without a heating element – we do not take responsibility for frozen plants and predatory mites.
