They have beautiful coral-red flowers with large, deeply cut leaves that are dark green and grayish on the underside.
They are easy to grow, come from warm environments and withstand long periods of drought, so they are ideal for people who have little time to care for plants.
They reproduce by seed, which are obtained from capsules containing 2 to 4 seeds and although not all germinate, usually sowing one of these capsules at least one of the seeds will germinate.
The latex that it gives off when, for example, a leaf is pulled off is toxic, which is why caution should be taken when pruning, so it is recommended to wash your hands thoroughly after handling it or wear gloves.
