- Planted in a pot, it looks good without having to put it on the balcony in a sunny building
In addition, when the wind blows, the leaves flutter like a tiny butterfly. We therefore recommend that you plant together as a group. The mood is like a maple leaf. But the canopy is not as tight as Marble-patterned mountain butterfly is a shrub 2-3 meters high and long life for many years. Growers should find crutches or tied with ropes to support the trunk from breaking. It is a plant that loves the filtered sun, if it is not light, the leaves are not beautiful but do not like the heat. When growing, they prefer well-drained loamy soils. Do not lack watering.

pierrei (Schindl.) Ohashi wing plan - is a terrific, rare tropical from southeast Asia with leaves resembling butterflies in flight! This unusual species has variegated, bat-shaped foliage in eye-catching shades of Green and purple stripes. Despite its exotic appearance, it's one of the easiest plants to grow! Freshly-picked seeds are rarely seen for sale.
The pierrei (Schindl.) Ohashi butterfly wing plant grows about 4 feet tall, with slender, arching stems from which the unusual leaves are suspended. These striped "wings" are 2 to 4 inches wide. They tend to fold downward at night, and open up during the day! When the plant is mature, it starts making small, whitish blooms along the tops of the shoots. The plant is reportedly used as a medicinal herb, but I grow it strictly for its cool-looking foliage!
The pierrei (Schindl.) Ohashi butterfly wing plant is a tropical species that tolerates warm conditions well. Fortunately it grows great indoors. It likes bright shade or filtered sunlight. It WILL need protection from strong sun exposure. Grow in a rich moist soil mix that is kept evenly moist (but not soggy). Over about 40% humidity is recommended. In the right conditions, it is an easy, low-maintenance plant.
It is often confused with the Christia Vespertilionis/Cespertilionis or Obcordata - the Red Wing Butterfly / Bat Wing
