Christia obcordataCommonly referred to as the 'Butterfly Wing Plant' this gorgeous plant is a fun and rather hard to come by species native to tropical Asia. These plants thrive in bright indirect to dapple direct sun and prefer to stay on the moist side without being drenched or being in sitting water. Don't miss out on these. We love seeing these wrapped around trellises which makes it look like a hundred little butterflies on your wall! Ah!!!
