Are there earthworms in the flowerpot?

Earthworms are common terrestrial annelids that live in the soil and go out day and night. They feed on livestock and poultry feces and organic waste, swallow them together with the soil, and also eat fragments such as stems and leaves of plants. It can loosen the soil, improve the soil, improve soil fertility, and promote agricultural production. Let's take a look at whether there are earthworms in the flowerpot.

The benefits of earthworms in flowerpots

The advantage of earthworms in flowerpots is that earthworms can eat into hard soil and discharge loose soil with fertility, which plays the role of loosening soil and fertilization, which is conducive to the growth of flowers planted in the ground.

The disadvantages of earthworms in flowerpots

Earthworms drilling around in the basin will damage the roots of flowers and separate the soil from the roots, which is not conducive to root absorption of fertilizer and water in the soil. Flowers will grow poorly over a long period of time, and in serious cases, fallen leaves and branches will appear.

What if there are earthworms in the flowerpot?

1. Slowly put the flowerpot into a bucket of clear water so that the water exceeds the basin surface. After about an hour, the earthworm will drill out of the soil surface and enter the bucket, which can be removed at this time.

2. first pour through the flowerpot with clear water, then mash and dilute the 3-4 cloves of garlic and pour them into the pot. after a while, the earthworms will drill out of the soil and can be clamped and removed with tweezers.

3. 100 grams of fresh maple poplar leaves can be soaked in water for 48 hours, remove the leaves, pour the leaf juice into the flowerpot, and remove the earthworms when they drill out of the soil.

Conclusion: the quality of earthworms in flowerpots mainly depends on the size of flowerpots and the number of earthworms. If the flowerpot is large and occasionally there is an earthworm, it will not have a great impact on flowers. On the contrary, it will be beneficial to increase water permeability and fertilizer effect. On the other hand, if there are multiple earthworms and the earthworms are a little large, then the activity of earthworms in the flowerpot is bound to affect the roots, resulting in inadequate contact between the roots and the soil, resulting in plant problems.
