Monarch butterflies lay their eggs on milkweed plants, which usually grow in meadows. Because Monarch habitat is disappearing, I want to expand the number of plants that are available. I have several milkweed plants that I want to plant appropriately in another space. I have the dirt that they were growing in. What else do I need to know?
