Jatropha plant
Light: Jatropha grows best in full sun. It needs plenty of direct sunlight to bloom well.
Water: Water moderately. Allow the soil to dry between waterings. Once established, it’s drought-tolerant.
Fertilizer: During the growing season (spring to early autumn), feed monthly with a balanced fertilizer.
Temperature: Prefers warm climates. Protect from frost and cold winds.
Soil: Well-draining soil is essential. It can adapt to sandy or loamy soils.
Pruning: Prune lightly to shape the plant and remove any dead or damaged branches.
Potting: Repot the plant every 2-3 yr in early spring to refresh the soil and encourage healthy growth.
With minimal care, Jatropha rewards you with vibrant blooms and lush greenery throughout the year.
