We raised Monarchs this Summer and Fall on our screened porch.
We used tropical milkweed. We set the milkweed outside and after eggs were visible, we brought the potted plants in the screened porch for safety. So far, eighteen were successfully released in our backyard. We have 3 more caterpillars, one was in its "J" shape this morning. Before we are able to release them, they do appear to like the southside of the porch. We released one on the 7th, one on the 6th. The others were released in approximate 2 week intervals before today. We carefully rinsed the milkweed to hopefully remove any of the protozoa issues. Had to relocate a few spiders and dispatch a few milkweed bugs.
