My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Is my Asclepias Incarnata having issues?

9 years ago
last modified: 9 years ago

Has had only three large growths and whenever new growth tries to come up, it usually dies. It's in full sun, and its getting plenty of moisture. It's in peat moss/clay. Is there something going on to cause this or am I over thinking this?
