The Butterfly Feeder and Nectar Combo Specifications: - Feeder Holds 6 oz Nectar - Hang Anywhere - Easy to Clean & Fill - Small Spikes to Hold Fruit - Includes Easy to Make Nectar

The base of the feeder can hold up to 6 oz of nectar, which is the optimal amount to minimize spoilage and increase safety for better butterfly health. The included 5-ounce Nectar Concentrate contains the necessary sugar, sodium salts, and trace minerals to attract butterflies to your habitat. This 5-ounce pack can make 3.25 quarts of nectar. Refrigerate any unused nectar and clean and refill the feeder every 5 days to ensure the nectar does not spoil.

In addition to the nectar, the feeder's small spikes can hold a variety of fresh, ripe fruits, such as strawberries, bananas, or oranges, to attract a wider range of butterfly species.

To create a thriving butterfly habitat, it is essential to avoid the use of chemical pesticides, fertilizers, or herbicides, as they can be detrimental to the butterflies and other species in the area. Instead, build a diverse butterfly garden with a variety of native flowering and fruiting plants, ensuring a continuous food source throughout the seasons. Additionally, create a butterfly puddler using a small shallow container, sand or soil, and a few small rocks for perching. Butterflies also appreciate a place to hide from predators, so consider adding a butterfly house to your garden.

By providing the Songbird Essentials Butterfly Feeder and Nectar Combo, along with a well-planned butterfly habitat, you can attract and support a vibrant population of these delightful pollinators in your garden.
