Hi Eileen, I too have been noticing a ton of caterpillars in Miami. They just wiped me out of all my tropical MW and even my 3 GIANT MW plants. By any chance have you been successful at growing Giant MW from cuttings?
ReplyDeleteYes, I have grown Giant MW from cuttings - didn't do anything special. I just cut the branch at an angle, wet the end, dipped it in rooting powder, and stuck it in soil (in a pot) :-). I'm glad to hear you are getting a lot of monarch activity down there. Thank you leaving a comment and reading my blog!!
ReplyDeleteWow!So you like such a small guy.
ReplyDeleteI see them a little scared.
