Choose containers with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging. Select nectar-rich flowers like lantana, verbena, and zinnias. Include host plants such as milkweed for caterpillars to feed on.
Select a Sunny Spot
Place your containers in a sunny location to provide warmth and light for the butterflies. Ensure there is some shelter from strong winds to protect delicate wings.
Provide Water and Food
Offer a shallow dish with pebbles for butterflies to drink from. Provide a mix of ripe fruits like oranges and bananas for additional nourishment.
