Jatropha podagrica (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 sun. The plant loves light but will appreciate some shade from the hottest rays on the hottest summer days.
-
💧 Watering: Moderate to infrequent. Since jatropha stores water in its stem, the soil must dry out between watering. 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.
🏠 BEST ROOM
-
Sunny living room where the jatropha can become the central conversation piece and stand out with its unusual shape.
-
Bright home office, bringing tropical calm and visual dynamism 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 Smartposti parcel lockers, as they provide indoor delivery, reducing the impact of low temperatures on your 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.
📦 Pick it up promptly! When the package has been delivered, collect it the same day. Do not leave the package in the parcel locker overnight! Cold and heat can damage the plants and predatory mites.
