What if there are earthworms in the potted plant?

Many flower friends are asking if there are earthworms in the flowerpots, and what to do with earthworms in the flowerpots. I have also learned about this question on the Internet. I feel that it is good for many flower friends to say that there are earthworms in the flowerpots. But most of the time the answer needs to be determined according to our own actual situation, especially the cultivation of flowers. In order to let flower friends understand this problem more clearly, so let's talk about the advantages and disadvantages first, and then what to do.

The advantages and disadvantages of earthworms in flowerpots:

1. Benefits: the advantage of earthworms is that earthworms can eat into hard soil and discharge loose soil with fertility, which plays a role in loosening the soil and fertilizing, which is conducive to the growth of flowers planted in the ground.

2. Disadvantages: earthworms drilling around in the basin will damage the root system of flowers and separate the soil from the root system, which is not conducive to the root system absorbing fertilizer and water from the soil. Over a long period of time, flowers will grow poorly, and in serious cases, fallen leaves and branches will wither.

The balance between the above advantages and disadvantages lies in the size of the flowerpot and the number of earthworms. If the flowerpot is small and there is an earthworm occasionally, it will not have a great impact on flowers. On the contrary, it will also have advantages, increase water permeability, and fertilizer efficiency. 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.

Therefore, we can not simply consider whether there are earthworms in the flowerpot, but should be combined with the actual situation to judge, if there is an earthworm occasionally, then there is no impact, or even beneficial. If there are too many earthworms, the flowerpot is too small, then there will be a problem, and earthworms do not eat mud and manure, but eat humus in the soil to compete with plants for nutrition.

What if there are earthworms in the flowerpot?

After reading the previous analysis, it is believed that the earthworms in the flowerpot have been judged, so we will not talk about it, no matter what; if you want to kill the earthworms, the earthworms lurk in the soil of the flowerpots, and spraying can not kill them, you can kill them by pesticide root irrigation. Generally use 2000 times enemy killing solution to irrigate the root, can also soak 3-5 cigarette butts into a bowl of water, 24 hours later irrigation root, earthworms can be killed or driven out of the basin to destroy.

In addition, if you want to avoid earthworms in the basin, you should pay attention to drying the garden soil when digging the garden soil, because most of the earthworms are dug garden soil or mountain soil.

Removal of earthworms from basin soil:

Earthworms in outdoor gardens are good for flowers and trees planted in the open field, but for potted flowers and plants, they hinder root growth and drill too many holes in the pot soil to make the soil easy to dry. If earthworms are found in potted flowers, earthworms should be removed from the pot, earthworms should be dug out of the soil, or mustard solution should be used to irrigate basin soil, or locust trees without thorns should pick a few pairs of fresh and tender leaves, mash them and pinch out juice and water to irrigate basin soil. force earthworms to be unearthed for removal.

In addition, if there are earthworms in the potted plant at home, you can first fully irrigate it with clear water, mash 3-4 garlic, mix with water and dilute. Then pour it into the soil and the little earthworm will come out.
