Vinca Attacked By Caterpillars

Vinca or Periwinkle is one of the most common plants you can find in local nurseries. The plants are grown for its glossy and green foliage as well as its variety color of flowers.

We do not have many vinca now because most of them bought earlier were attacked by caterpillars. A pot of vinca can be gone in one night, that’s how ferociously hungry these caterpillars can be.

This one(below) was the only survivor although we read propagation is rather easy. Well, probably vinca wasn’t my top favorite, so, I didn’t really bother. But last week, we almost lost this too.

Yes, the caterpillars were back, almost with a vengeance....LOL




Luckily, we were quick to spot them this time.



We killed those that we can see with our physical eyes but to be safe, nothing beats prescribing some garden voodoo aka pest control...:)
