Arka Plant (Akvana\Milkweeds)

The Calotropis gigantea, often called Crown Flower or Giant Milkweed, is a big, star-shaped purple or white flowering plant that stands out for its thick, green foliage. This plant is a favorite in gardens and landscapes because of its alluring appearance.

Wherever it grows, Crown Flower’s distinctive blossoms and broad foliage give off a tropical vibe. Toxic substances found in the plant’s milky sap act as a defense against herbivores. But you should exercise caution when using this feature, especially if there are kids or dogs nearby.

Arka Plant is used for wound healing, skin ailments, pain relief, respiratory issues, and digestive support. Caution: Latex can irritate skin, and internal use requires expert guidance.

Calotropis gigantea, a native of the tropics, grows best in areas with direct sunlight and soil that drains well. Once grown, it requires little maintenance and is drought-resistant. The Crown Flower is a fantastic option for bringing a touch of exotic elegance to your outdoor space because of its beauty and ease of maintenance.
