Jatropha Podagrica Orange – Buddha Belly Plant

Bring a touch of the tropics to your home with the Jatropha podagrica, also known as the Buddha Belly Plant or Bottleplant Shrub. This fascinating succulent features a swollen, bottle-shaped stem that stores water and bright coral-orange flower clusters that bloom for much of the year. Its unusual shape and vivid colour make it a true conversation piece and a striking addition to any plant collection.

Native to Central America, Jatropha podagrica is a resilient, easy-care plant that thrives in bright light and requires minimal watering. It’s ideal for plant enthusiasts who love collecting unique and sculptural species.

Quick Care Guide

💧 Water: Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. Avoid overwatering.
💦 Humidity: Average household humidity is fine.
🌱 Tip: Use a gritty, free-draining cactus or succulent mix to prevent root rot.
