Jatropha podagrica


Jatropha podagrica is a species of plant known by several English names, including Buddha belly plant, gout plant, tartogo, bottleplant shrub, and goutystalk nettlespurge.

The stem swollen into vasculum at the base is a special feature of the plant.








The plant can be propagated by seeds. Mature seeds can be planted in poly bags filled with a mixture of top soil, sand and well-decayed organic manure or compost. The plants can be planted in the field after four months. They can be planted in containers or can be directly planted in the field.


Bright red flowers are also attractive and flowers can be seen throughout the year.
