To care for the Asclepias speciosa plant, also known as showy milkweed, ensure it receives full sun and well-drained soil. Water the plant moderately, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings, and consider mulching to suppress weeds and retain moisture. Additionally, this plant attracts pollinators, so avoid using pesticides to protect beneficial insects.
