Buddha Belly Plant (Jatropha podagrica)
Named for its swollen, bottle-like stem, the Buddha Belly Plant is as quirky as it is sculptural. It produces clusters of coral-red flowers on tall stalks and stores water in its thick trunk, making it highly drought-tolerant. This conversation-starting plant is perfect for bright spots and lovers of the weird and wonderful.

Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect to direct light
💧 Water: Allow soil to dry out between waterings; avoid overwatering
🌫 Humidity: Tolerates low humidity well
🐾 Pet Friendly: ❌ Not Pet Friendly – toxic if ingested

Fun Fact: Despite its tropical appearance, this plant is a succulent and can go long periods without water thanks to the thick, water-storing “belly” at its base.
