Buddha Belly Plant - Live Plant in a 4 Inch Growers Pot - Jatropha Podagrica - Low Maintenance Indoor Houseplant Elegant and Exotic Tropical Succulent
Key item features
- Unique Appearance: The Buddha Belly Plant boasts a distinctive bulbous base and large shield-shaped leaves with 3 to 5 lobes, making it a standout addition to any plant collection. Size: This tropical succulent can grow up to 6.6 feet tall in its native habitat, but typically reaches 2-3 feet when grown indoors.
- Flowers: Enjoy clusters of vibrant red flowers that bloom almost all year round, bringing a touch of tropical beauty to your home. Adaptability: Suitable for both indoor and outdoor growth, thriving in well-draining soil with a preference for bright, indirect light.
- Light: The Buddha Belly Plant thrives in bright, indirect sunlight but can tolerate some direct sunlight. Position it near a south-facing window for optimal growth. If exposed to too much direct light, leaves may develop scorch marks. Repotting: Repot the plant annually in the spring to refresh the soil and accommodate growth. Choose a pot that is at least 2 inches wider in diameter than the root ball and ensure it has drainage holes to prevent water accumulation.
- Watering: Water the plant thoroughly, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out before watering again. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has proper drainage. In winter, reduce watering frequency to once per month. Temperature and Humidity: This plant prefers warm temperatures between 60-85F 15-29C and high humidity levels. In dry environments, use a humidifier or place a tray of water near the plant to increase moisture levels.
- Soil: Use well-draining soil, ideally a mix of peat moss, perlite, and sand. Avoid heavy soils that retain too much moisture, as this can lead to root rot. Ensure the soil pH is slightly acidic for optimal growth. Pruning: Prune the Buddha Belly Plant as needed to promote bushier growth and remove any dead or yellowing leaves. Regular pruning helps maintain the plant's shape and encourages healthy new growth.
