Taking care of a Swallowtail (Christia obcordata) plant involves: Watering: Maintain consistently moist soil. Avoid letting the soil dry out completely, but also ensure you're not overwatering and causing soggy conditions. Light: Ensure the plant receives bright, indirect sunlight. Some morning sun is fine, but avoid the harsh afternoon sun which can burn the delicate leaves. Temperature: Maintain an environment between 60°F to 80°F (15°C to 27°C). Keep the plant away from frost and cold drafts. Pruning: Regularly trim off any dead or yellowing leaves to encourage new growth and maintain the plant’s appearance. Pest Control: Check the plant regularly for pests like aphids and spider mites. If detected, treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
