4" Buddha Belly

Buddha Belly Plant (Jatropha podagrica)
Buddha Belly Plant is a unique, conversation-starting plant known for its swollen, bottle-shaped trunk that stores water and gives it its iconic “belly.” Topped with large, glossy green leaves and sometimes producing clusters of bright red flowers, it has a bold, sculptural look that feels both playful and dramatic. Tough and drought-tolerant, it’s perfect for sunny spots and low-maintenance care.

Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Bright light to full sun; thrives in sunny windows
💧 Water: Allow soil to dry between waterings; water sparingly
🌫 Humidity: Average indoor humidity is sufficient
❄️ Temperature: Thrives in warm indoor temps (65–85°F); avoid cold drafts
🐾 Pet Friendly: No

Fun Fact:
That swollen trunk isn’t just for looks—it stores water, helping the Buddha Belly survive dry periods much like a succulent. 🌿✨
