The drunken butterfly flowers planted by my father bloom beautifully like dancing butterflies.

The drunken butterfly planted by my father blossomed when I came home.

When I was young, the yard at home was covered with flowers and plants by my father, even on top of the bungalow. In order to take care of these flowers, I specially built a small glass greenhouse at home. In late autumn, I would move the flowers in the yard into the greenhouse. When it was colder, I would light a stove to warm the temperature in the greenhouse and protect the flowers and plants safely through the cold winter in the north. The black smoke from the chimney is the best guide for relatives and friends to visit and know the way.

Recently, I am not busy at work. I will ask for three days off plus Saturdays and Sundays, for a total of five days, just to visit my hometown. With love and expectation, set out on the road with the most beautiful scenery and set out towards the warm hometown. I spoke on the phone with my father three days before I left. Before I hung up, my father said that the drunken butterfly flowers planted at home would blossom when I got home.

Start from sowing

Seeds can be purchased online. Soak the seeds in warm water (preferably 25Mel 30 degrees Celsius) for 3-10 hours before planting. When the seeds absorb water and expand (the seeds are very small) use disposable chopsticks or toothpicks to place the seeds one by one on the prepared base surface, cover a centimeter thick base soil, water them with a small spray can, and water them several times until thoroughly.

Growing environment

Plant fertilization

Drunken butterfly flower requires little fertilizer, so you can put some nutritious soil at the base when planting.

During the growing period, coring should be carried out many times (at least 2 times) to promote the growth of more flowering branches. The heart can be removed when the plant grows to 10 centimeters. After opening, the residual flowers should be cut off in time to reduce the unnecessary consumption of plant nutrition.
