PHYLANTHUS MIRABILIS
This is a beautiful caudiciform from Thailand. this plant is present in the higher altitude of Thailand where the ground is rocky and covered with mosses. I have potted it into a well draining soil formed of vermicompost (50%) , pumice and coarse sand. Its summer in my place temperature goes high to 40 deg C. So I need to water it every fourth day once the soil dries up. The plant is kept in partial sun . The most beautiful part of this plant are the leaves. They are yellow brown in color. During night time they close just like the butterfly wings. During daylight it opens up. But if the plant is kept under harsh sun it again spontaneously closes. This plant has a beautiful caudex.
