Attracting butterflies to your garden can be a fun and rewarding experience. Here are some tips to help you create a butterfly-friendly environment.
- 💐 Choose the right plants: butterflies are attracted to nectar-producing flowers such as odontonemas.
- 💐 Plant lots of bright flowers, especially of yellow and pink colors like some cassias which seem to be the pleasant to butterfly's eye.
- 💐 Use a variety of flowers to attract different species of butterflies. Check the list of butterfly-attracting tropical plants.
- 💐 Provide food for caterpillars: butterflies lay their eggs on specific host plants that caterpillars will eat. For example, monarch butterflies lay their eggs on milkweed. Passion flower (Passiflora) and Aristolochia that we introduced earlier, are also great butterfly hosts, but be prepared to sacrifice some leaves!
- 💐 Provide a water source: butterflies need a source of water to drink from. A shallow dish or birdbath with rocks in it will provide a place for butterflies to rest and drink.
- 💐 Avoid using pesticides: they can harm butterflies and other beneficial insects. Try using natural methods to control pests in your garden.
- 💐 Create a sunny spot: butterflies love warm, sunny spots. Plant your butterfly garden in an area that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight each day.
- 💐 Add a butterfly house to provide shelter for butterflies during bad weather and at night.
