Care tips
A light, sunny location
Likes plenty of sunlight but not in bright sunlight. A place in the windowsill is ideal.
Keep moist, the potting soil must not dry out
Water the Jatropha regularly. Especially if the plant gets a lot of sunlight, it needs a lot of water. A Jatropha is a tropical plant and therefore likes moisture. It really doesn't like drought, but of course it doesn't like wet feet either. Water about three times a week. The amount of water depends on the size of the pot, but make sure the soil stays moist. Simply watering on top of the potting soil is fine, but putting the pot in a layer of water for a few minutes is also a good way to water.
Removing yellow leaves
It is possible that due to various factors, the lower leaves may turn yellow. This does not mean that the Jatropha will die. Just remove this yellow leaf and your Jatropha will be beautiful again.
