Do you have a problem with caterpillars on your Crinum and Clivias?
This innovative method was sent to me via Jeremy Taylor from Sydney.
Simply drape netting over your plants, this stops the butterfly from laying her eggs on your plants.

PLEASE Be sure to plant an extra with no netting in an obscure spot for the butterflies to have to themselves? They are very important. The caterpillars are the next generation, and without their pollination skills you may eventually have no plants. I “overplant” everything I grow to be sure their is enough to share. Thanks for “listening”…

Hi Terry, thank you for stopping by. Yes I totally agree with you. I also over plant. 🙂
