Uncarina decaryi (160-180)

Origin
The Uncarina decaryi is a plant species that belongs to the Pedaliaceae family. It is a specific type from the Uncarina genus, some species of which have yet to be fully classified. The origin of the Uncarina decaryi lies in Madagascar, a country rich in unique and diverse plant species.

Characteristics
With its characteristic green leaves and striking yellow flowers, the Uncarina decaryi is easy to recognise. The plant has a particularly fleshy trunk with a rough, knobbly surface. The Uncarina decaryi species is often characterised by its hook-shaped fruits and the height can vary from 1 to 3 meters. The plant can grow as both a shrub and a small tree, depending on the environmental conditions.

Care
When it comes to care, the Uncarina decaryi has fairly specific needs. The plant requires a lot of sunlight and is tolerant of drought, which allows it to adapt well to its original Madagascar habitat. It prefers permeable soil and requires regular water, especially during the growing season. In colder climates, this plant will need to be grown indoors if it is to bloom. In addition, the plant needs to be regularly fed with a balanced fertiliser.
