Attention grabber: swollen trunk, giant leaves, and flowers just like corals! A must for bonsai collection.

♥️ Jatropha podagrica: commonly known as the Gout Plant, this plant is a true attention grabber and a must-have in any container garden, as well as in succulent or bonsai plant collection.

♥️ Features a distinctive bottle-like caudex and surprisingly large tropical leaves up to 10-12 inches in diameter. Just like you saw in Adeniums.

♥️ Thrives in the shade, where its leaves grow even larger.

♥️ Perfect for natural bonsai and makes an excellent potted plant or conversation piece in a small garden.

♥️ Grows only 2-3 feet high, with a knobby, swollen stem and eye-catching, coral-like red flowers in large terminal clusters.

♥️ Prefers partial sun and well-drained soil, and is very drought-tolerant.

♥️ Easy to care for, adding exotic flair and intrigue to any plant collection.
