This is my first year planting milkweed. They are attracting caterpillars (yay!) but also tons of aphids (boo). How do I get rid of the aphids without hurting anything else? (I’ve read about spraying the leaves, but that seems like it might wash away the caterpillars too...?) Thanks!

Spraying the leaves will hurt caterpillar too. The only natural solution are Ladybugs, that you can buy online.

I know it's a little late to point this out but, you did realize that this milkweed is covered in aphids, didnt you? #aphids #monarch
