For its origin, butterfly flowers come from South America. However, now it is also easy to find in Indonesia. Many people like to display butterfly flowers at home because they are not only beautiful and unique, but also not too difficult to care for.
Originally, the butterfly flower plant came from a cool area. This plant can easily wither due to exposure to a lot of sunlight if placed in tropical areas such as Indonesia. So, you better make butterfly flowers as indoor ornamental plants. However, don't forget to adjust the room temperature so that the butterfly flowers can grow and bloom properly. The ideal temperature for this ornamental plant should be between 15-24 degrees Celsius.
The choice of where to put butterfly flowers in the room also really determines the growth of this plant. If you want to thrive and be healthy, put a butterfly flower pot in a room near a window. You see, this one plant requires abundant natural light for maximum growth.
It's just that the abundance of light should not be directly exposed because the butterfly petals are very sensitive. Putting it right near the window is the best solution so that this plant can get maximum light, but not be exposed directly. If there is no nook or a place to put the butterfly flower pot on your window, you can work around this by using an additional shelf near the window.
Most people usually leave the potted plant in the same position for a long period of time. However, if you choose to plant butterfly flowers, stop the habit! You have to regularly change the position of the pot where you put these ornamental plants. Maybe you think that watering butterfly flowers every day can make them grow more fertile. However, that assumption is wrong. Watering butterfly flowers too often can actually make the roots rot easily so that your plants die easily.
Ideally, you just water the butterfly flower plant 2-3 times a week. In fact, during the rainy season, you can water this unique ornamental plant less often. In addition, make sure you use the right plant sprinkler so that the amount of water given is not excessive.
