Christia obcordata are a great addition to your garden for creating colour contrast. Otherwise known as a 'Butterfly Plant', they have striking red and green striped leaves which are triangular in shape resembling their namesake. They grow in an upright manner and as they mature will grow multiple stems which make them bushier. They prefer full sun and only keep the red markings in this aspect. They don't like winter and will suffer if grown in temps lower than 15°C.
Light: Category x (please see our blog on plant light requirements)
Soil: Indoor mix (please see our blog on soil requirements)
Fertiliser: As directed on your fertiliser of choice. Fortnightly or monthly during the growing season
Watering: Don't over water, they like to dry out between waterings.
Maintenance: Trim back to make the plant even bushier.
