Origin of Uncarina grandidieri
Uncarina grandidieri, also called the Succulent Sesame or Mousetrap Tree, hails from the dry forests and xerophytic thickets of southern and southwestern Madagascar. It's named after Alfred Grandidier, a French naturalist, reflecting its interesting backstory. Due to habitat loss and over-collection, this plant is considered quite rare.
Quick Care Tips
This plant thrives in full to part sun with well-drained soil. It enjoys occasional watering but let the soil dry completely between watering sessions. During its growing season, water about once a week. In winter, when it sheds leaves, water it only once a month. Keep it in temperatures above 13° C (55° F) and protect it from frost.
What Makes It Special
Uncarina grandidieri is eye-catching with its large yellow flowers featuring purple throats. It also develops unique spiny fruits that resemble natural mousetraps. Although it can grow up to 8 to 12 feet tall, itâs perfect for bonsai culture due to its striking appearance. This plant forms a thick caudex that stores moisture, enabling it to live happily in arid conditions, making it a prized choice for collectors.
