Jatropha Curcas Seeds offer both exotic beauty and sustainability in your garden. This versatile plant can reach heights of up to 15 feet, adorned with glossy green leaves and clusters of vibrant red flowers. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, making it suitable for ornamental purposes as well as biodiesel production and medicinal uses.

Planting Instructions:

Seed Preparation:

Soak the seeds in warm water for 24 hours to soften the seed coat and improve germination rates.

Sowing:

Plant seeds directly into well-drained soil in a sunny location after the last frost date.

Sow seeds 1 inch deep and space them 6-8 feet apart to allow for mature plant growth.

Germination:

Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged during germination, which typically occurs within 2-3 weeks.

Maintain a temperature of 70-80°F (21-27°C) for optimal germination.

Transplanting:

Once seedlings have developed several sets of true leaves and are sturdy enough to handle, transplant them into their permanent location.

Ensure each plant has ample space to grow, considering their mature height and spread.

Care and Maintenance:

Water young plants regularly, especially during dry spells, to establish a strong root system.

Once established, Jatropha Curcas is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering.

Prune lightly to maintain shape and remove dead or damaged branches.

Protect young plants from frost by covering them with a frost cloth or moving them indoors during cold spells.

Happy Gardening!
