Milkweed plants only need sunshine, water and soil.
There is common milkweed, purple milkweed, tropical milkweed, and swamp milkweed.
Wooly Bear caterpillars will eat a wide variety of plants. Some of those plants are grass, milkweed, clover, and cabbage.
Monarch butterflies will only lay their eggs on milkweed because it is their hostplant. A hostplant is the plant that the caterpillar will eat when it hatches from its egg. So, the monarch caterpillar will only eat milkweed, and the monarch butterfly will only lay its eggs on milkweed. The monarch depends in the milkweed, the milkweed does not depend on the monarch butterflies.
False Indigo and Black Locust as host plants (the plant the catterpilliars eat)they also as an adult drink netar from milkweed plants
Milkweed bugs are not harmful to plants, as they primarily feed on the seeds of milkweed plants. They are not known to be harmful to other organisms either.

Monarch caterpillars eat lots and lots of milkweed plants but I believe they are poisons to us. They eat lots! You just buy them a whole pant and let them eat up as much as they want!
Many butterflies, including the Diana butterfly eat nectar from plants. They also eat milkweed, ironweed, and certain types of clover.
The caterpillars feed on milkweed leaves. The adults feed on any nectar-producing flowers such as asters, goldenrod, marigolds, and swan plants.
Milkweed is a host plant for monarch butterfly caterpillars, so they primarily feed on milkweed leaves. Some other insects like aphids, beetles, and milkweed bugs also feed on milkweed plants. Additionally, certain animals like rabbits and deer may also consume milkweed.
Milkweed is important to butterflies because it is the host plant for monarch butterfly caterpillars. Monarch butterflies lay their eggs exclusively on milkweed plants, and the caterpillars feed on the leaves of milkweed as they grow and develop. Without milkweed, monarch butterflies would not be able to complete their life cycle.
