Yay! Thank you!

I love, love, LOVE butterfly weed. We lived in east Tennessee during the 90s and any drive down a rural road in summertime was a feast for the eyes. Bright pops of orange all along roads.

That sounds lovely 😊 I've never seen butterfly weed in the wild.

Remember, especially with milkweed, always **grow native**. Asclepias tuberosa or incarnata or perennis or all 3. Monarchs munching tropical/scarlet milkweed (Asclepias currasavica) outside of their breeding grounds in Mexico ALTER their breeding behavior and can also cause a buildup of OE. Even if you cut it back, it's highly invasive and who can say if the far off places the seeds can get to will have someone to cut it back. Plant responsibly

Yes. Very important for the health of the monarchs to plant native. Check with one of the monarch organizations online or your local agricultural extension to find the native species for your area.

ur adorable this was super helpful!

Perfect, a neighbor just put a huge pile of them, can't wait to try this.

Thank you for this video. Very helpful. I recently found some butterfly milk weed on a friends farm and I wanted some on my farm because I only seem to find common milk weed in my woods and I wanted to add more diversity. This information was great on how to do that. Thank you again and I will be checking out more of your videos.

Very informative. Going to try it.

Wow awesome video with all the updates in one thank you!

I wasn't sure you could do that. A few weeks ago, I bought a plant and during planting I broke a piece, stuck it in the ground...now I'll go check😄👍(I forgot, duh)

I'm excited to try this! I'm just afraid to buy potting soil because I don't know how to tell if it has systematic pesticides in it. I'm new to gardening

You made it look so easy to start plants from cuttings. Thank you. I wonder can you grow strawberries from cuttings or do you need seeds?

@WildFloridian

Жыл бұрын

You can do both! I'm no expert on strawberries but will be doing testing this year.

I use transparent plastic bags for rooting cuttings. This way I can see exactly whether the cuttings have rooted or not.

Hi Jacqueline! Thank you for your awesome videos! I just planted some milkweed next to my veggie garden. Now I wonder if the aphids that will come will attack the veggie plants. Should I move them? Thank you.

Actually may pull them away. I can’t think of the last time I’ve seen aphids on the veggies. I know there are other exotic plants people use as sacrifice plants… and I remember thinking 🤔 I wonder if that is what the milkweed is doing for my garden.

The golden aphids will only be on milkweed and not on any other crop from my 10 years experience.🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋

Awesome… is it the same for common milkweed? Thanks

Awesome. You did this with asclepias tuberosa. Would it work with swamp milkweed as easily? What time of year should this be done, is June too late?

My Asclepias tuberosa never produces seeds. I have been wanting to propagate it but was doubtful about taking cuttings. My showy milkweed produces lots of seeds and seedlings as well as runners.

New to Florida and it’s climate. I am getting yellow leaves with brown spots on my leaves. Can you give me suggestions on how to amend this?

My Milkweed blooms are being eaten by little bugs before they bloom so there are now flowers for the Butterflies. How do I stop this without hurting the butterflies as well?

@WildFloridian

Between the milkweed bugs and the caterpillars... getting milkweed flowers can be challenging. I mix my milkweed with other native wildflowers, like Coreopsis. This provides consistent food for the butterflies while the caterpillars and milkweed bugs eat the flowers. Right now is a great time for goldenrod which is critical for monarch migration. If you are really bugged by the bugs 😂... you can squish by hand. Any chemicals or soapy water will potentially harm your caterpillars. Hope that helps. Happy gardening!

@@WildFloridian I figured and I have not intervened but I just want a happy place for the Monarch's and those little bug's are messing it all up! Such is life... Fingers crossed that some natural predator finds them and takes them out for me.

When u cut them does the mother plant branch?

How did you transplant them into your garden?

Should they be left in shade or full sun?

What size pots are those? 4 inch?

That doesn't look anything like the A.tuberosa I just found on the roadside. Maybe mine's a local ecotype? No nodes like that, and the stems aren't nearly as thick or glossy. Instead, they're hairy. Same bright orange flowers and leaf shape, though, so whatever I found is gonna get stuck in the garden even if it isn't A.tuberosa! :D
