How To Care For Phyllanthus Mirabilis | Butterfly Caudex Plant

The Phyllanthus mirabilis, otherwise known as the butterfly caudex plant, is an incredible light responsive, folding houseplant which has some really cool characteristics.

In this video I’m going to be talking about how to care for Phyllanthus mirabilis, propagation techniques and how I fertilize my Phyllanthus plant. I personally find these an easy indoor plant, it’s not often you find a folding caudex plant, I’ve also included what they look like after sunset so you can see what I mean when I say it’s a folding houseplant. Stick around until the end to see some more Phyllanthus you can look for in your next plant haul.

If you’ve got any other useful plant care tips for these unusual houseplants please leave them in the comments!
