First, that you for even considering helping the monarchs! You’re doing a great thing. The milkweed I keep outside I cut down to the ground once winter sets in and they start over when it’s warm enough. I like to keep a bunch inside under grow lights when winter hits as well. If yours are in small pots I recommend indoors for the winter and if you have a sunlight lamp or greenhouse lights that would be best for them.
I highly recommend this (RESTCLOUD 36" Large Monarch Butterfly Habitat, Giant Collapsible Insect Mesh Cage Terrarium Pop-up 24 x 24 x 36 Inches https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CWRV1CZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apip_W8ku7QacNsYvu ) enclosure so you can bring your caterpillars indoors on the potted plants.

Don’t be discouraged if you lose a few. You live and learn. Please reach out to me with questions.

Cayenne

Sprinkle it around liberally (wear gloves and stay upwind!). I also made a HellPaste out of cayenne and petroleum jelly and slicked it on the peach “walkways”. I managed to get about half of my peaches this year as opposed to zero. They figure ways around after awhile and the cayenne blows off. For the straight powder, hubby manned a water mist bottle and wet the peaches and I dusted with the cayenne. It’ll stay stuck for a couple days at least. The wetness last night degraded it enough for the yard rats to take single bites out of quite a few, but we got a decent harvest today. Next winter we’re going to prune the now mature trees down to manageable size and build chicken wire cages. The netting did nothing. They bite through it or find tiny openings you never thought of. But the cayenne? Best repulsive effects yet. Cage your boxes though. The only other thing I had work somewhat well was a cat I had that would happily pee in my tomato beds. Smells like cat pee obviously, but the tomatoes seemed to like the extra nitrogen. Sadly that fat fucker passed away a while back so it’s me and my bag of pepper hate.

No cool guides, but I just set up something similar to start tomatoes and peppers inside.

I bought four 6500k 4’ LED strip lights from Amazon, hung them from one board with eyes on the back, and I have enough room for three trays of 4” pots. The 6500K light temperature is important. “Warmer” lights won’t have as much of the light near the edges of the spectrum as plants need.

Don’t mess with light fixtures that take T-8 or T-5 lights, the LED shop lights that can be daisy chained are great: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D3NZSTV
