Very helpful. I have these flowers and they are super pretty. They bloom last for a long time too!

My plant has yellow leaves towards The bottom. I don’t think I’m over watering I water every other day and feed once a week. It’s not mold, not yet.

Thanks for listing some host plants for the clearwing.

Thank you for watching. Be careful if you go with Dogbane. It’s super aggressive. I have more experience with it now and wish there was an easy way I could add note to the video…

I can't figure out how to use the bonap thing.

[@soilshepherds]

I'm sorry to hear you are having trouble. Are you using a mobile device or desktop? I find it's much easier to use on a desktop where the options are easier to find and click.
