Butterfly Flower Plant



Last January (i forgot the day), i bought a so called "Butterfly Plant" according to the vendor maybe because the flower plant leaves are somehow shaped like the butterfly.When you look at the picture, it has dark violet colored leaves with succulent stems. The flowers are light violet oriented down to earth and as i observed the flowers bloomed for a week. During night time, the butterfly shaped leaves will flip down like us as we close our eyes as we sleep at night. You know, i felt pity for this flower plant because at first i put it inside our powder room since the light there is not turn off most of the time the biological sleeping time of the plant is affected. In the photo, this butterfly plant is inside our powder room but now i transferred it in front of our dish washing sink.

  1. Hi. I got the same plant just last week because it looked different and it was the only one left. It was also the first time I've seen it. It looked unhappy when I got it. How do you take care of this plant? The vendor said to give it moderate sun and water. Any advise would help. Thanks.

  2. I have that butterfly flower at my home in the Caribbean. I do not know the scientific name. I had a green one as well but it has since vanished and I long for another plant. Thanks for the information that the light affects its sleeping time. My observation begins today.
