{"product_id":"jatropha-podagrica","title":"Jatropha podagrica","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne of the few caudiciforms that has been circulated widely enough in cultivation to have earned a common name, Jatropha podagrica, or “Buddha belly,” is a perfect entry plant for beginner caudiciform enthusiasts. This native of tropical southern Mexico and Central America makes a corpulent, bottle-shaped trunk that grows at a measurable pace, unlike many plants in this category. Within a few years, one can expect a specimen of respectable size that is ideal for bonsai staging. Large palmate leaves on long petioles emerge from branch tips protected by spines, making a canopy over the semi-soft, water-storing trunk. In the spring and throughout the summer, the plant makes a surprisingly attractive floral display of fluorescent orange blooms suspended above the plant on long inflorescences. Our plants are seed-grown examples from parents selected for nice spination. They are approaching specimen size and are already capable of flowering.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rare Plant Catalog","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52458573791512,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0912\/1175\/9896\/files\/jatrophapodagrica_4177fecd-d8d8-42c0-8b81-db81b3d87766.png?v=1785377160","url":"https:\/\/rareplantcatalog.com\/products\/jatropha-podagrica","provider":"Rare Plant Catalog","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
