It's a popular low-maintenance plant, valued for its colourful red flowers and its unusual, thick swollen stem and shiny leaves — many growers use it for bonsai.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGrowing Conditions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunlight:\u003c\/strong\u003e A minimum of 4 hours of direct sunlight; low light causes leggy growth and duller blooms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoil:\u003c\/strong\u003e A coarse, very well-drained potting mix (roughly 65% perlite, with sand, rock and a small proportion of top soil or coir works well for mature\/bonsai plants; a standard well-drained, organic-rich mix is fine in the first year).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Water only when the top 2-3 inches of soil are dry — overwatering is the most common way to kill this plant.
