How to grow butterfly flower

1. Soil

When caring for Cleome, as long as the soil is not alkaline, it will be fine. It is best to use a mixture of leaf mold and garden soil. In addition, it should be noted that it is best to use a larger flowerpot, because its rhizomes are very thick, and a larger one is more conducive to growth.

2. Temperature

The butterfly plant has a certain ability to withstand high temperatures and prefers to grow in an environment between 20 and 32 degrees. Pay attention to keeping warm in winter, move it to a warm place indoors early, and ensure that the temperature is above 10 degrees.

3. Watering

It is drought tolerant but also grows well in moist conditions. Therefore, it is best to water frequently with small amounts of water. The specific number of times depends on the climate. If it is summer, it is best to water once a day and pay attention to spraying more water to cool down.

4. Lighting

It likes light very much, so when caring for it, you must let it get more sunlight so that the leaves will be more vibrant. It can be given full sunlight at ordinary times, but it needs to be properly shaded in the summer afternoons because the sunlight is too strong at this time, so avoid sunburn.

5. Fertilization

When applying fertilizer, you should follow the principle of applying light fertilizer frequently. When potting, you should mix fertilizer into the soil as base fertilizer. During the normal growing period and flowering period, you should apply diluted fertilizer water in small amounts and multiple times to ensure normal growth.
