SUCCULENTZONE: 9 â€“ 11LIGHT: Sun/Part Shade HEIGHT: 3 â€“ 6 ft. SPREAD: 2 â€“ 4 ft.SOIL: Dry/Well drained FLOWER: Red LANDSCAPE VALUES: Jatropha podagrica is a tropical, frost-sensitive, succulent shrub, usually 3 feet tall. It has a swollen and knobby, grey-skinned stem (large bottle-like caudex) and green, smooth, waxy leaves, up 12 inches in diameter. The flowers are small, coral-like and bright red in color. The key to growing successful Jatropha is to achieve the proper balance between moisture and drainage. They typically appreciate a steady supply of water, but the most popular species cannot tolerate being submerged or soaked and will quickly succumb to root rot. Many of the popular Jatropha species make excellent small trees for a conservatory or sunny corner. Keep them well pruned so they donâ€™t outgrow their space too soon.
