Butterfly Feeder Award Winning Hanging Finnish Butterfly Oasis
I dream of living in a magical forest, where the animals talk to me. Until that day comes, I guess I’ll have to settle for watching the wildlife here. This Finnish butterfly feeder oasis should help me attract lots of brilliant butterflies to watch.
A butterfly feeder is a simple way to attract more butterflies to your home. Place it in an area that is warm and sunny, and protected from the wind. Ideally, surround your feeder with planted flowers as well, so the butterflies have a variety to choose from.
If you’d like to bring more butterflies to your garden, install a Finnish butterfly feeder oasis!
Butterfly feeders are popular, as they will attract butterflies to the food source within. In fact, if your garden has flowers and foliage, they may choose to nest there as well. The feeder should be designed to be used only by butterflies, so they won’t have to compete with other wildlife for their food.
The butterfly oasis is a Finnish design that’s made perfectly for your flying companions. The interior reservoir is only accessible by small holes on the outside of the feeder. Perfect for a butterfly, but too small for other potential users. It’s made of a lightweight and eco-friendly bioplastic that’s ideal for the outdoors. A hole at the top allows for easy hanging from a branch, garden hook, or your home’s balcony or patio.
What do you put in a butterfly feeder?
Fill your butterfly feeder with a mix of sugar and water, much like a hummingbird. The general ratio is 1 part sugar to 4 parts water. Heat to dissolve the sugar, then cool and fill the reservoir. In an enclosed feeder, no dyes are needed, as the feeder itself is colored as an attractant.
If you prefer, there are butterfly feed mixes available as an alternative. Powdered mix requires you to add water, cook, and cool. Concentrated butterfly nectar only requires thinning with water and it’s ready to go. Both are equally great options that can cut down on prep time and are great for your butterfly feeder.
