Bitti

Scientific Name:
Cascabela thevetia

Bitti, commonly known as Yellow Oleander, thrives in well-drained soil with full sunlight and moderate watering. While Bitti is primarily grown as an ornamental plant for its bright yellow flowers, it is highly toxic and must be handled with caution. In traditional medicine, Bitti has been used in controlled doses to treat cardiac issues. Bitti also supports pollinator ecosystems by attracting bees and butterflies, contributing to biodiversity.
