Product Highlights

Hadjod is a hardy climbing succulent with thick, segmented, four-angled green stems. It handles heat well, needs little water and is easy to grow in a pot with a small support to climb on. The Insulin plant is a leafy tropical plant with glossy, spiral-arranged leaves and bright orange flowers. It prefers moist, well-draining soil and bright light without harsh direct sun. Both plants have been used in traditional home remedies in India, and together they make a lovely pair of useful, good-looking plants for any home garden. Their different light and water needs also make them a good lesson in plant care: Hadjod likes to dry out between waterings, while the Insulin plant likes steadier moisture. Both arrive at a good size of 8 to 12 inches in 4 inch pots, and you can repot them into larger planters as they grow.
