Member Questions from Grow Milkweed Plants Facebook Group

1. Does regular care/water inhibit milkweed flowering? I’ve nursed one for three years now, (left pic) and it’s never flowered even though I can find some much smaller flowering in the wild. Am I inadvertently fooling my plant somehow to not produce flowers? TIA. near Dallas. I’m assuming green milkweed..

2. So sad, this morning I was excited to check with the caterpillar and the ladybug that's on my milkweed but they're gone..did some insects came to devour them..all I have left is the poop...
