Uncarina leptocarpa is from the island of Madagascar, a place known for its unique biodiversity. It thrives in arid and semiarid regions like dry spiny forests and western dry deciduous forests. This plant carries a bit of evolutionary intrigue. Its fruits are thought to have been spread by extinct giant birds such as the Aepyornis, adding a fascinating historical note for collectors.
This plant needs plenty of warmth and water during its growing season. Make sure the soil is rich and well-drained. It doesn’t like the cold, so keep temperatures above 13° C (55° F). During winter, let the soil stay dry and water only once a month. Minimal fertilization is best for adult plants, so go easy on the plant food.
Visually, Uncarina leptocarpa stands out with its fine green hairy leaves and striking white flowers. The plant's unique hedgehog-like fruits add to its charm. Its rarity is due in part to the difficulty of propagation, making it a real treasure for enthusiasts. The plants we offer are 1-year-old seedlings ready to add intrigue to your collection.
