Earthworms in the pot can increase the water permeability, air permeability and fertilizer efficiency of the soil.It will not harm the root system of flower plants, but also regulate the PH value of the soil, promote the soil to be more loose, and eat the organic matter that is not decomposed in the soil, which is beneficial to plant growth.But it also depends on the size of the pot and the number of earthworms.
If the flowerpot is small, there is little potting soil, but the number of earthworms is relatively large, so that activities in the flowerpot will easily lead to gaps between the roots and the soil, affecting the absorption of nutrients and water, thus affecting the growth of new roots, and the root system will be easily injured, resulting in poor growth.
The presence of earthworms in flowerpots is good and bad for flowers. The above has made a concrete analysis, and we can decide whether to keep earthworms according to the actual situation.However, we should pay attention to the root system of some flowers and plants is very weak, there can be no earthworm activities in the soil, earthworms will damage the root system, which is not conducive to growth.
After finding earthworms, we should deal with them as soon as possible, and it is best not to spray them.The leaves of maple and poplar trees can be soaked in water and irrigated on the soil surface after two days, so that earthworms can be driven out without harming the plants.You can also buy a small amount of garlic or onions in the soil, which will emit a pungent taste, thus expelling earthworms.
