In the wild I mean. I've got 2 in a container with a screen lid. One hung in a J for a day now is just hanging straight. Did it die since it's straight, just hanging there?

Another in the same jar is eating away and is twice as big (allmost) as the one that started hanging.

Here's the milkweed I had the wire cage over. My first attempts at saving them failed. They escaped. That milkweed continued growing and is now higher than I am 5'5".
