Planting and Caring:
A plant of the arid and semi-arid tropics, where it can be found at elevations up to 2,100 meters. To grow well, it prefers maximum temperatures that often exceed 30°c; the branch tips are damaged at temperatures below 5°c, and the plant cannot be grown in the open when temperatures are regularly close to 0°c.
Although it originates from dry areas, it tolerates high air humidity well, which explains its popularity in countries such as Thailand and the Philippines.
Requires a sunny position. Requires very well-drained soil.
Plants can endure a drought or cold-induced dormancy of several months as occurs in the natural habitat.
Plants grown from seed may flower within 1 year.
Under favorable conditions, some clones can flower for 2 - 4 months, or even nearly year-round. Flowering stops when temperatures exceed 38°c.
The root sap or sometimes the wood or stem latex contains a powerful heart toxin and is used to prepare arrow poison. The poison is popular for hunting large game as it kills quickly and the hunted animal dies within 2 km from the place where it was shot.
