Carbon dioxide, light, minerals, starches, sugars, and water are the food items which the milkweed plant consumes. For example, the plant in question (Asclepias) attracts light through its green colors and minerals and water through its underground-spreading rhizomes. It changes photosynthetic starches and sugars into energy and exudates.
