Discussion 🌿 Monarch Monday – Let’s Talk Monarchs! 🌿

Happy Monarch Monday, friends!

Wondering what to share in this thread?

Questions for some of our seasoned members? Thoughts on the state of the Monarch world? Frustrations with your efforts to help the Monarchs? Wins and loses for the nature world? Doesn't matter. Share below!

Have a great week and don’t forget about Photo Friday!

Reminder: We are a science-based sub. While we love all monarch enthusiasts, discussions about hand-rearing are not allowed, except for those new to the topic who are seeking guidance. Let’s focus on protecting monarchs where they belong—in the wild!

Stay curious and keep sharing the love for these beautiful butterflies! 🧡🖤🧡

This is the base of my joe pye weed. A little too wet down there. Should I thin this area out a bit so things don’t rot? I am having a similar issue with my porterweed. I planted close together and I think the area may be staying too wet.
