What are the plants that belong to shrubs
The web tells you about the plants that belong to shrubs and the small experience of raising common shrub plants. Next, let's learn about it together.
There are some ornamental plants that look very unique, some are suitable for growing into potted plants, and some are suitable for growing into ground planting landscape plants, which can be planted in flower beds. Before planting each plant, you must understand their preferences for the environment and choose the right plant for yourself, which is also very important.
White flower Clerodendrum trichotomum
1. Blue Butterfly
The formal name of the blue butterfly is "Uganda glory bower", because it originally grew in the Uganda region of Africa. This plant is a very special kind of small shrub, which is suitable for planting in large flower pots, but it only grows well in the south, and it is more difficult to care for in the north.
The blue butterfly belongs to the Clerodendrum family, which is closely related to the drooping jasmine and dragon spitting beads that I introduced to you before. Its flowers are extremely beautiful, the flowers are blue, and the shape of the flowers is like a butterfly (especially cute), so it is called "blue butterfly”.
The blue butterfly particularly likes a warm and humid environment, especially in the hot summer, it can also maintain a good condition, and the best care temperature is between 22-33 degrees.
When growing blue butterflies, it is necessary to use some loose and ventilated sandy soil to ensure that the soil has good drainage, and the pot soil should be slightly acidic, which will be more beneficial to its growth.
