Jatropha podagrica

Buddha Belly Planta has swollen, fleshy stem, which is topped during the warmer months with a crown of gently ruffled deep green leaves. In good conditions, the plant may also produce an upright stalk, topped with a cluster of small orange flowers. Jatropha podagrica is also known for its incredible ability to attract a variety of butterflies wherever it is grown.

The jatropha podagrica is incredibly toxic, so special care is needed when dealing with this plant.
