Care guide
- During the winter, potted plants are overwintered. Be careful not to overwater. Their feet do not like standing in water!
- Mix perlite or sand into potting soil for good drainage
- If you don’t want additional seedlings next spring, cut off the seed pods before they pop open or bind them to shut with twist ties or rubber bands if you want to collect milkweed tree seeds. Seeding is less likely to be a problem for those growing in annual zones.
