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.

Watering: Don't over water, they like to dry out between waterings.

All plants pictured are considered an accurate representation of the plant you will receive. It represents the rough size, colour and condition. These are plants however and due to changes in climatic conditions and plant variation there will be minor differences.

Please note that we use 'Bugs for Bugs' regularly as a preventative control measure for pests. These predatory bugs are administered in vermiculite. This vermiculite is sprinkles onto the leaves and sometimes remains.

We know that sometimes it's hard to get an idea of the size of the plant your are purchasing. Photos can make plants look bigger than they actually are. That's why we've made it easy. In each listing you will notice a photo with a background with lines drawn. These lines are distanced 5cm away from each other and the photographs are taken straight on with products against the wall. These photos will be the best indicator of size.
