My geranium was recently infested with caterpillars. I think I removed them all but does anyone know if my plant will survive? They did a good job eating all the leaves and putting holes in all the stems.

You should def check for more and maybe add a plant safe natural insecticide and maybe see how it goes?

My Yarden is also getting infected either caterpillars, So before I take my dogs for their walk I go out collect as many as I can find \& put them in a container with air holes and some leaves. Then while am at the park I let them go
