Decorate your garden in such a way that butterflies come

Let butterflies return to our gardens and our lives. Plant a flower pot, a leaf plant. And keep a corner just for them. Then one morning a butterfly will come and sit near your tea cup, and you will smile.

Have you ever watched a butterfly flying in the garden while drinking morning tea? Those tiny flights, those colourful wings, and their light touch while hovering near the flowers - as if nature itself is smiling, but alas, now butterflies are not as many as before. They are slowly disappearing. And this is not only affecting the beauty of our eyes and garden, but also our crops, flowers and the entire environment. So why don't we call butterflies back to our home? Let us know, how we can make a beautiful home for butterflies in our small courtyard or terrace.

Things You Will Need 

• N/A

Method

Butterflies love local flowers

Butterflies cannot stay away from local and fragrant flowers like marigold, hibiscus, zinnia, sunflower, lily and jasmine. They love both colors and juice. It is not necessary that your land should be big, it is also easy to plant these flowers in a pot.

Some leaves are also necessary

The life of a butterfly does not depend only on flowers. Their eggs and larvae (caterpillars) grow only on some special leaves. Like lemon, curry leaves, aak, castor plant. Give these plants a corner in the garden, where butterflies can complete their life cycle without fear.

Soil and water - both are necessary

Butterflies do not drink only the juice of flowers, they should keep a corner with wet soil in your terrace or garden, or keep a big clay bowl filled with water, which also contains some stones. They will sit at their favorite place and drink water comfortably and your corner will come alive.

Sunshine is needed sir! 

Butterflies with flowers and soil Butterflies with flowers and soil Keep plants or make a garden in such a place in your garden or terrace where the morning sun falls. Sitting in the sun, the butterfly spreads its wings to warm itself. 

Avoid pesticides

If you want your garden to be full of butterflies, then refrain from chemical medicines. These are poison for butterflies. Adopt natural remedies like organic manure, cow dung manure and neem water. 

Plant flowers of every season 

Butterflies will stay in your garden only if they get something to eat throughout the year. Therefore, plan the flowers according to different seasons. Plant marigold and other plants of the same species in winter, hibiscus in summer, zinnia and other such plants in rainy season. In this way, your garden will remain colorful with flowers and butterflies throughout the year.
