Water Butterfly treeTenere Umido
Let's remember to empty the plant saucers after watering, to avoid that stagnant water could damage the roots. Let's wet abundantly with about 2-3 glasses of water , acting when the soil is pretty dry; during this period of the year we can water even every 1-2 weeks .

Cultivation Butterfly tree
These plants have a sapling deportment, with a short stem with a small roundish crown. The Butterfly tree is medium in size and 5 m in height; in the spring it assumes a purplepink colouring. These plants aren't evergreens, which means they lose their leaves some months during the year. The Butterfly tree develops in an erect manner and, as the years go by, becomes a tree.

We suggest to position the The Butterfly tree in a sunny spot at least a few hours a day. Let's position the plants where they can enjoy a good source of light,yet avoiding direct sunshine, which could cause antiaesthetic burnings on the foliage.These plants don't like excessively harsh temperatures, with night-time minimum temperatures below 0°C. during the spring in general they are grown in a covered place, moving them outdoors, or uncovering them, when there isn't any danger of sudden temperature drops.
