Watering

[alcoo]

I have a ton and a half of milkweed but have noticed some is not lasting like it should. So, I have been doing a little bit of research on my own and realized that the way you spray/water the plants makes a large difference. It seems like a standard greenhouse can grow it, but different hoses and watering methods and schedules can make a really huge difference in the end! Does anyone know if this kind of teejet sprayer has a shower setting? I think that might make all the difference. Let me know as I am only a couple years into this.

The plants should be watered from the bottom and not the top. Don't over water.

Now, what species of milkweed are you talking about. Can you give us a state location? What you can grow has to do with planting zones? How hot or cold is your area?

Indianapolis and the milkweed is grown in a greenhouse environment. I knew about the watering from top but maybe I forget to tell my husband, who has done some watering!
